    This past weekend I installed the OME lift on my 2010 DCSB Tacoma with a toytec aal and a toytec ubolt flip kit. Well while adding the leaf I accidently kicked the ABS sensor and well broke it. Anybody do this before? Is my truck safe to drive till wednesday when the part gets here? The ABS light and brake light are on now. This was a 100 dollar mistake I won't make again.

    I did the same exact thing when I lifted my truck:facepalm: I drove it from Texas to Washington with the sensor out before I was able to get it fixed, I did not have any issues on the drive up. I would recommend taking it in and getting it fixed as soon as possible though.

    You could find the thread on here and install an ABS killswitch for the mean time but me personally, no I would not drive it.

    x2. Been driving without ABS for a good time now and I love it- especially offroad. I can actually stop when I want to. I should probably get it fixed for snow time tho.
