A-Trac

With all of this rain, ID LOVE TO GET RID OF THE A-TRAC!!! I have been reading up and I guess i have to cut the wire. Is there another way to do this without messing up the wiring harness?

yes there is. I'll post it up in a little bit or look up: the no cut a-trac hack, but you also need to bypass the VSC as well to have fun in the rain

On a manual, isn't it enough to lock the central diff to get rid of VSC and such?

Yes this is true.. This will give you a 50/50 split front to rear instead of the computer searching for the best traction via wheel spin.

I don't think you want to get rid of ATRAC, you want to get rid of the VSC, ie. VSC cancel switch.

Vehicle Stability Control. When it senses tire spin, pretty much cuts off power. It's relating tire spin to the driver losing control.
VSC

I've been thinking a VSC bypass would be a good thing for a little extra fun now and then.

Maybe we could have a VSC hack install day at my place in Alameda in the near future, before SnT would be way cool.
