I can't imagine that disabling ABS is any more difficult than pulling the ABS fuse like people like to do in Subarus. Or put a switch on that circuit.
Birfs are different for 80s. Pull it apart first and make sure that's the problem.
and sweet find...my offer stands to take it for everything you've got in it. I'll even pay mileage and an hour of hazard pay to go the hood to get it
i dont think the birfs are any different. i know to use highsteer arms you use the ABS hole.
longfield can rebuild birfs too.
why are these so cheap?

you don't have to disable ABS...something on how if the if you select the locker it turns off the ABS and then the ABS changes the shift pattern in the tranny?
they are all connected somehow. The diff lock switch lets you lock the center diff in high range. which you can't do the way it is stock. they could have learned some pointers from rover in this realm. my RR is set up to where you just push the lever over any speed. I have locked hi/lo and unlocked hi/lo

I think spline count on the axle shaft side is different too, no?
...
yes, the minitruck shafts are 28 spline and the FJ-80 are 26 I think.

i knew the birf size was different, i was referring to the abs/non abs. which is why you cant run mini knuckles on a 80 housings.
