I would go with pulling the fuses if you fear them deploying off road. As I understand it the airbags are not even enabled untill 35mph as they will do more damage to the passenger than if they don't deploy. The FSM has a full chapter dedicated to the airbag systems, 8E section I think it is. The do have some handling warnings. On the steering wheel when you put it down put the steering wheel down with airbag facing up, if it does go off from static elec it won't shoot the steering wheel up in the air, carry it with the airbag away from you. Store in cool dry place in sealed bag, stuff like that.
I just kind of went thru the drill when I did my cluster swap today, after I got the new cluster in and reconnected the battery I layed the driver seat all the way back THEN stuck the key in and started it up.
The steering wheel bag has a clock spring mechanism in it that requires some special handling also. Nope, not worth pulling it if this jeep is to be used on road. I'm suprised the dealer won't put the switch in, though you do lose one of your drink holders when they do it...
