    easy enough to do, but extra work for no reason IMO. no one should be pushing that button, and any normal person who drives your truck wont even see it anyways...

    i agree with you but, there is that chance of me or somebody for that mater, that might push that switch while driving and that would suck for the rearend.

    DSCN3072.jpg I put 2 switches in my center console,one for locker and one for the abs mod.Put them up in the upper rear short section where the hinges come down. This way I can lock my console when I'm not driving it and also when I go to the stealership,if its just an inspection then they will have no idea I even did those two mods.
    In the pic where someone put an led light I put two switches side by side and put my led in the big area, also put the net across so its seperate from the main section. works great

    cool idea, the fog light switch is right next to the locker switch, just don't want to press it on assident. i thought the abs mod works without doing wiring when the locker mod is done?

    if you mix the two up by accident at a low speed, going around a small traffic circle, at night, you wont break anything. ask me how I know. :anonymous:

    you will wonder why the fuck your tires are chirping and why everyone is staring at you though...

    The abs switch is the one I will use mostly,the locker mod alt. will be used very rarely and having both in the console makes it easy for me and if the wife or son in law borrow it,the console is locked !!!
    The abs mod will not allow posi lock to engage but the locker mod will.
    Yes if using the locker mod it will do the abs BUT why run all the time with the locker mod engaged ( then if you accidently hit the regular locker switch,it will engage ). It sure is a lot safer using just the abs mod then if you hit the locker by accident,it will NOT engage just like factory.

    I have been known to be devious here and there.
    My plan is to lock it for inspection too.Just in case!!!
    This way all my mods except anytime dimmer switch for led's and dtrl (these two fill the two blanks spots under the heater display) will be locked.
    And they should have no beef about the inverter mod.
    The only other thing i did was put in locks and sealed the outside boxes.
    Plus some leds here and there in the cab hooked into my dimmer with a switch( I dont want my led's coming on all the time so i switched my interior led's ).
    My anytime fog mod-well if they bitch i'll pull the wire get it inspected then put my jumper back in.:D
