    Tried google with no luck..just wondering if anyone on here has turned off their airbags while off roading? I dont really beat on my truck too much but I think I would prefer my airbags to be off just in case my foot stays on the gas a little too long :D

    I don't think there is an easy way to disable all airbags. But you don't have to. It takes more than bumps from off-roading to activate them. It you have an airbag deploy, you (almost certainly) needed it to avoid serious injuries.

    Find and pull the airbag fuse. Cheap and easy.

    Thanks for the help/advice. I knew the rsca would disable the sides but wasn't sure if the rest would be disabled as well. I saw some YouTube vids of Tacos taking some jumps over some dunes and airbags went off when no other damages occurred to the truck..or that's what it seemed like at least. Will try to find that fuse to disable them

    Curtain air bags are the only ones that will blow with a false roll over. Press the RSCA and you're good.
