4 Wheel Anti-Loc Brake Mod - Has it ever been done?

[Raskew]

Just wondering if anyone has ever attempted to modified their brakes to 4 wheel anti-lock. Can it be done?

Hooooooooooooooo Weeeeeeeeeeeee

That'd be a whole-lot of computer crap to be tossed into an otherwise clean engine bay....

I'm see'n what a pain it is mearly add'n the Hydra Boost!!!, You'd need to do that AND add all the CPU garb AND run all the wire'n AND ... AND... AND... AND...

Even after ALL that, let's say ya get it work'n right and somthing goes wrong you don't know how to fix yer self... GOOD LUCK get'n help with that!!!!!

But... I am sure it CAN be done... just not easy... AT ALL!

It would be worth it if you used one of the Land Rover systems that automaticly applies the brakes to a wheel that is spinning until it and its opposite wheel are turning the same speed, essential switching an open diff to a spool whenever needed. No driver input required. It also had a feature that if it sensed a wheel lifting off the ground, it would use its ride height adjusters to push down on that wheel.

I’m working on it. Starting with the simple rear ABS off a BroncoII.
The hard part about a 4 wheel system would be if it didn’t work right. There isn’t any aftermarket tuner chips or stand alone computers to run the ABS. If it wasn’t happy being on your truck, there isn’t much you can do other then live with it or take it off.
Probably the funnest part would be getting the tone rings to work. That is the fun I am working on right now with just the rear system off the Bronco II.

Could you find a vehicle with similar axles and use to toner rings off it??

It would probably be eaiser to get a defender 90 and swap the bronco body onto it than try to get all the required ABS stuff to fit and work right.

Tone rings for a 9" are not very common.
Can't just mix any tone ring you want. Need to have the correct tooth count for the system to work correctly.

Go with the rear ABS.... that would be a nice start. I've never had my fronts lock up on me... that's with Chevy stuff, power and 35" tires...
