My ABS light is coming on intermittently. Is this a problem or can I drive the beast with it this way and not worry about brakes, etc?

mine is actually doing the same thing since kane creek in moab this year....

it seems to act up more when its wet outside..

yep.. sounds like an abs module on its way out.. mine would do it when warm, then once it cooled down the light would go back out.. eventually happened more and more until it was steady on.. the brakes worked fine, just had no abs which was fine with me, just take a bit of time to get a feel for emergency braking in a safe place without abs

its also pretty easy to change your abs module yourself if you can find the unit, i know its identical to either the trooper or rodeo with 4 wheel disc brakes but i cant remember which one... either way used is the way to go as the dealer charges 2500 for the part

check here for instructions on replacing the unit at home
