Pull the fuse on abs?

On a 99 ranger what would happen if i pulled the ABS fuse (Besides the ABS not working cause thats what i want). And is there a way i could install a switch so i could have ABS while on road driving?

Of course you understand the liability issues involved in answering that question. I know what happens with the full size trucks but not my Ranger. How about testing it in an abandoned parking lot & tell us what happens.
You can put in a toggle switch,horn button or even a mercury switch. The usefullness of such a switch is the question.

when the rabs was not working on my areostar the rear would lock up tight with very little pedel presure. I dont think they have any presure regulaters when they use abs. It wouldnt take long to destroy a set of tires.
