    Seems like it Was just yesterday that I bought my truck new.

    Where in the world has the time gone and how did these miles add up so fast!!

    Who would ever thought I would still have it too.

    What I do know is my truck runs better now than it ever has in its life somehow:)

    damn dude, you drove 4,000 miles in 2 months (2/20/98 - 4/10/98)...that might explain why they add up so fast lol

    Tried out my air bag set up today. It’s AMAZING how much difference it made towing. Airbags will always be my first purchase for every truck I buy from now on. Pulled my lifted cj5 with 38 15.50’s and a 360v8 about 50 miles today on curvy, mountain two lane roads. It done surprisely well for a 4 banger. I see a super charger in my near future though. 08CB8D54-F29A-4BE4-8E6B-819DB2B6084D.jpgB46A5AC6-4069-4F9D-B527-66F1061FBF70.jpg F6CC9B6D-0976-41C2-BA9D-DA73293CAF80.jpg

    The red and yellow wires are for an LED light bar and for the switch for the painless solenoid. The wire loom thing I cannot remember off the top of my head.

    Anybody have a link to abs removal/delete. Not looking for the fuse and bulb removal. Looking for a write up on running new brake lines and eliminating the abs box. Thanks

    Had a 1970 cj5 with a Chevy 350 as my 1st vehicle at 16.

    Those were fun days, that Chevy 350 broke the transmission twice and the axle once before I sold it tho.

    Like my original post said. Not looking to disable temporarily. Im running new brake lines to the rear and need to remove the abs. Im adding a proportioning valve, line lock and cutting brakes which require completely new lines ran inside the cab from the master and then to the rear.

    I've done it.

    Not too bad but bit of a pain just wrestling the lines in and out. Best thing to do is just find or buy oem front lines for a non abs. They aren't very expensive. You basically just have to pull everything and then replace. I didn't pull the abs rear line. Just left it hanging on the frame.

    I have lots of photos in Igor's build.

    Cool thanks ill go dig through and try to find it. I plan on using soft lines since i have to run it into the cab and back out and don't want to deal with flaring lines etc.

    I've done it as well. Like @Blackdawg said, it wasn't difficult, just time consuming and a pain. I ended up making all the new brake lines myself, but if I ever did it again I would just buy the pre-made ones from a non-abs tacoma to save time.

    Just deleted mine in July. There's a thread on here that mentions part numbers on non abs lines and neither were correct for me. I made the shorter one work and then just reused an old line. I think it was front range offroad that sells a T and union that I needed to retain the lspv.
