Don't you hate it when you are on a wet or dirt road and the damn car won't stop... Oh sure, the wheels didn't lock and I didn't go into a skid... but
the person who's living room I just drove into wish I did!  
(on a real personal note, my '05 had this issue, but my '10 doesn't)
On dirt roads, you want the wheels to skid a bit in order that they dig in instead of gliding on top of the gravel. The Tacoma shuts off the ABS in
low range 4WD... and there is a 'mod' to kill it in high range... sometimes it is as easy as pulling a fuse.

Thanks for the laugh, Santiago. That's funny!
There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

How did we drive before ABS? That's how I am driving now because the pressurizing pump wouldn't shut off, even with the key out, untill the battery
was dead. I just removed the fuse rather than paying $500 for a new pump.

ABS
Aren't those labels reversed? ABS keeps the wheel from "locking" into a skid. The dog on the right is clearly skidding, whereas the one on the left is
leaving a stuttering track as though its brakes were not "locking" up.
Certainty is the child of ignorance, knowledge is the mother of doubt. Question everything!

Huh???? Labeled correctly, it seems to me. "without ABS" you lock up (as the pup on the right is doing), etc. etc.
David K--------a really good point which I had never thought of before. I have always disliked ABS, and now I know that I can "just remove a fuse".
Thank you!!
(Now if I can just figure out how to have my "fog lamps" on when I am using high beams----the dealers and electricians say it can't be done without
confusing the on-board computer)

Barry, in a Toyota there is a mod where the fog lights can be on anytime (not just with low beams)... You have a Nissan... may God help you!

you can't. the engineers know you want your eyes to focus far ahead when you use your brights even if you don't realize it, that's why your fogs shut
off.....

Yeah, that's sorta what they tell me, but your explanation is better------but, like JoJo, the Engineers do NOT know what I want, or need---------The
fog lamps on my Nissan X are so good that they really give excellent wide visual sight at short range-------ideally, to me, I want to use the high
beams to see far down the trail, and the fog lamps to show me the critters that may run out in front of me----(splat!!!) Simultaneously!!!!!!
This "car thinking for me" just drives me nuts!!! I WANT A TOYOTA!!!!!!

try it next time you are driving at night, preferably behind a cop! notice how your eyes focus far ahead when the brights go on and when the brights are
off your eyes focus close up. if they worked together there would be too much like diffusing up close to let your eyes focus far ahead.
