So im in the market for a new cherokee always fun but the issue i have found every low mileage cherokee i have found has ABS so it looks like i might be buying an abs equiped cherokee .
Now time for some questions

1) is there a write up for removing the pump and computer from under the seat. (searched didn't find one)

2) my parts cherokee has the lines from the master cylinder to the proportional valve clean and good but the lines from the proportional valve to the brakes are rusty and weak, is there any place that sells pre-bent ones.

3) now third is it really worth all this work or should i just wait it out till a clean ABS free cherokee pops up.

Thanks for any help thins cherokee replacement searched has truly sucked.

 

I would keep searching for a non abs I don't anyone who sells prebent lines you can buy premade brake line in varying lenghts and bend to your needs.

 

whats wrong with ABS?

 

It just sucks ill be looking and im like thins is a good one then the under the hood shot comes and BAM there is an ABS pump. I only have another week before i graduate college and have to return my sisters car.

 

I borrowed my friends 01 once and it has ABS and it almost killed me in dry weather, Plus my 2000 i just retired didn't have ABS and i had better control in the snow than my friends who have abs.

I also have an 8.25 i just rebuilt the whole brake system on i wanna swap in just in case i get an ABS jeep and ABS has to go and im not gonna do a half way removal i wanna pull it all.

 

Look for one with a chrysler 8.25 rear end they don't have abs brakes.

 

I know this but most dealers don't include shots of the axles and i don't care what axle it has since i already have the 8.25 just in case i just don't want abs.

 

oh i understand, search around, im sure someone here has done it with all the axle swaps people do on here

 

if you're against the idea of ABS then find a rig you like and disable the ABS.

 

This is what I'm trying to do but my insurance company said if I remove abs I need to remove to as like it was never there installed so that's the pump wiring and computer. That's why I'm so in to the I like my insurance company plus all the clean xj's have abs.

 

Ive never had ABS in a car, which is nice, but just pull the relay for the abs and if anything happens where the insurance has to look over your jeep, plug it back in

x2 one with c8.25, you can never have too many c8.25

 

Peterson's 4X4 or Fourwheeler has done writeups on how to install a bypass switch. Super simple and just mounts on the dash. They did it so you can disable the ABS on steep decents, but it would work here too. Enable or disable with the flip of a switch. If I'm not mistaken the ABS is fused and they just broken the circuit by the fuse panel and installed a switch.

 

Well it turns out the one i liked the dealer claimed 100% had ABS when i showed up i saw a 8.25 under it test drove it and left a deposit and filled out for a loan with 2 co signers.
