Why not just pull the fuse when you are on the dirt. That way you can put it back in when back on the black top and no switch for the INS co to worry about if the worse happens

Just need an ecu wiring diagram for the brakes, and remodel the pin that makes the vehicle think its in low range, where the ABS is esentially disabled.
This can be done with switch also to same pin, to make ecu think its in low range, and if its auto, the shift pattern for the auto may change gear higher in the rev range while it thinks its in low range, aness you include remodelling the pin the auto ecu uses to think its in low range.
Any good auto elec should be able to get a diagram, and do the required works.

Mate,
Try www.lcool.org - they have a lot of info on both the 80 series and 100 series including on how to do it in the 80 series - it might be similar to the 100 series.

Fozzy, Karls advice is right on the money. the lcool site actually describes an 80series but i think a 100 serties would be the same

Be careful when pulling the fuse, you may lose brake vacuum and ultimately brakes altogether.

You have to be joking, right??? All modern brakes are vacuum assisted. As long as the engine is running you have vacuum and therefore brakes. I don't think anyone would design a system that would cause the brakes to fail simply because of a blown (removed) fuse!

Maybe on Toyota's but I drive a Pajero and I KNOW I can remove the fuse with no ill effects.

Hero, you are right.
I have been in a 100 series cruiser with the fuse removed. You hear a slight warning buzzer , abs light is on and after about 20 seconds , no brakes.
