ABS solution for Solid Axle swaps?

[jagerauto]

Ok so this truck has a solid axle swap, originally I didn't see any wiring for front abs sensors but I think I do now.

I replaced the sensor in the transmission for VSS. And it was broken, but what are the chances the abs just needs to be reset to fix the issue.

Speedo doesn't work, abs, track and 4wd lights are on/flashing(4wd)

Check engine light was on for VSS but cleared and hasn't come back.

Here is the only solutions I can think of. Being in Va it can't pass state inspection.

Delete the ABS entirely or just remove the lights and say truck didn't come with it. And hope the inspector doesn't look into it.

Or somehow wire the front abs sensor wiring into the rears (granted those are working properly)

rear axle is off an 02 Tacoma and has sensors in it. I don't have the correct adapters for my snap on scanner to see if they are working though.

You don't have an ABS code, right? Could you just pull the ABS lightbulb? How are they gonna know it doesn't have ABS unless an ABS light or code is there?

True, but the speedo doesn't work because to my understanding the speedo gets signal from the front sensors.

So you need the speedo to work to pass also?

No just trying to fix that at least haha. That kinda sucks when driving down the street.

Will another (older) cluster fit into the dash there and plug in, that uses a mechanical cable for the speedo?

You can get a speed sensor that goes in the transfer case

I know they came on non ABS Tacomas, but I'm not sure about 4Runners
