Unhappy 2006 Tacoma turn traction control OFF!

Hey, I just got a 2006 tacoma and I really want to turn all the traction control off. I searched and i didn't find anything about it. This is the model year before the off switch installed.

Can i install the switch myself, will the ECU accept the switch?
Is there any other way around it without turning 4wd on?

Please help!!!!!

If you can accept an ABS light on at all times, and like to drive without ABS brakes disconnect an ABS wheel sensor. It will kill the traction control.

Disclaimer: I do not advise doing this, as it will cause "safety" features of your vehicle to function improperly, and put you at risk of lawsuit if you do get into an accident.

You can disable the traction control by following the these steps:
1. Start the truck
2. Before you move the truck - Push and hold the TRAC button for ~3 to 5 seconds

You have to do this every time while you are stopped/parked for every key cycle but it works and it doesn't cost you anything.
