This may be a dumb question. One for any brake specialists that might be reading this.
If you pull out the fuse for a vehicle's anti-lock brake system, does it mean that the brake system will operate in a conventional manner?
If so, then it would seem to me that an easy way to overcome the shortcomings of ABS on dirt is to just pull the out its fuse while offroad.
Any thoughts guys?

This exact question was one of my main concerns when upgrading from the faithful old GQ.
I rang a service manager at a
Sydney Nissan Dealer. Here is what he "did not tell me".
If you cut into the line on the power side of the fuse and install a switch (use enough cable to mount it where you want it) then you can turn the ABS off with no adverse effect. Unless you count wheel lock up as adverse.
Now I'm not a qualified mechanic or brake specialist or electronics wizz, and you did not here this from me.
I managed to find a near new GU without ABS. Problem solved.
