Ok, I have driven about 8 years now without a rear ABS sensor and ABS computer and now I'd like to get rid of this: http://community.webshots.com/photo/547008638/2560163020042310107BVIARv so I can use that space for something much more fun (aquamist system). Mike @ ORS will make me a by-pass for the PS highpressure line, but what has to be done to by-pass the brake lines that go in and out of this thing? One line runs to the brake fluid reservoir and the other goes to the rear LSPV. Anyone done this or know how to do it?

I did it. you gotta get a p/s pressure hose for "WITHOUT ABS". remove the ABS unit install new p/s hose. Then remove all the brake lines you don't need. I only have 1 brake line going to the rear now. you'll have to cap off or weld shut 1 line on the passenger side by the RF wheel T. That was it. I thought it was gonna be a mess, it turned out really easy. got my p/s hose at like Autozone or Advance.
FYI: you're ABS light will be on the dash. TO correct that I removed the ABS relay under the hood by the cowl on the passenger side. Problem fixed.

Great thanks! Does your 4runner have a LSPV or it that just a pickup thing? If so, did you cap off the line from the ABS actuator going to the LSPV? Also, what about the line that runs to the brake booster area, does that get capped off too?

This is the line that runs to the ABS actuator. http://community.webshots.com/photo/547008638/2571019820042310107AdUDVi Can I just remove this line and plug the hole?

Well after studying the FSM it looks like to me that plugging that line would cut my MC output by 1/2. So do I need to take that line and connect it to the other line going to the rear LSPV? Isn't that what the ABS actuator is doing right now?

I only have 1 brake line going to the rear now. you'll have to cap off or weld shut 1 line on the passenger side by the RF wheel T. So J94, was the rear line you removed the one that seems to be sharing pressure between the front brakes and the rear? That is the only "T" I have at the RF wheel area. If so, you must have rerouted the line that goes through the ABS actuator so it just goes to straight the rear now right? If so, that should be an easy job with a flaring tool and tube bender. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I wonder why Toyota engineers used that extra line to the rear that seems to be sharing pressure with the front brakes? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
