Because you replaced the front with a solid axle of some kind, the ABS sensors are missing. That is why the light is on.

I would just pull the light from the dash.
 
what kind of messed up runner are you driving?

if you consider a 99 sr5 thats been built with very expensive parts, 14 bolt rear with a detroit, king pin 60 front with an ox and brand new procomp 37's, ect. its real messed up.

i have ZERO concern about my ABS light, i have an air bad light that RANDOMLY came on and i dont wanna be driving down the road and get knocked out by an air bag.
 
Excuse me I got off on the wrong light also...

Maybe your spiral cable under your steering wheel broke....

The air bag light comes on if the self check it does fails when you start it up. I wouldn't worry about it going off, I don't think it would deploy even if you wanted it to.
 
i felt my steering wheel get a little catch about a week ago. made a crack/break kinda noise.... ive got a 97 parts runner so i should be ok with getting whatever broke.... thamks for the input.
 
hm. i think my steering lets me turn more then 2 and a half times. o ya my horn doesnt work now.

I believe that is 2.5 times in either direction for the cable itself.....I know my 01 4runner is 3.5 turns lock to lock. I can only assume yours may be a bit different due to the lack of a steering rack.....maybe not though, 3.5 is probably about average for a passenger vehicle.

well i checked it out i get around 2 1/4 one way and two the other. but when i was doin the sasi was turning the steering wheel back and forth like makeing it free wheel and one time i let it go and it suddenly caught and stoped so im pretty sure i damaged it then. do you know if the spiral cabel from a 97 limited will work? it also has cruise mine is a 99 sr5 sport

That I'm not sure of. Make sure it has all the same pins as yours?
