Default How to disable abs breaks and traction control

I was involved in a minor accident a few years ago caused by abs breaks.
I live in the south, no ice. I also don’t want automatic traction control, if I want to power slide around a corner on a dirt road at WOT, that’s my business.

How do I accomplish this?

Buy a Raptor. Unplug ABS.

Typically a fuse will deactivate. Check the manual. Should have one specifically for abs. Pull that and it’s gone.

45-50 mph, flat dry pavement, 90’f.
Fool coming towards me in other lane thought he could turn left in front of me, he did.
I locked up the brakes, felt I would stop in time, and then the ABS kicked in, it was like taking my foot off the brake, boom, caught his right rear tail light/bumper.
