well, if your BRAKE light comes on, I would say its more serious than you would like to think. non working ABS is one thing, non working brakes are another. Maybe do the WJ booster swap?

I would swap the ABS out for regular brakes. Remove the ABS pump and just make up some lines, get a proportioning valve from a non ABS equipped rig and install it or get an adjustable proportioning valve from Summit.

Look by your brake booster.

swap in a 95-96 brake booster, and master cylinder, with pedal. Get the whole assembly with the proportioning valve. You can rip out the hydroboost pump and remove the relays for the ABS. You need to reflare like 1 line and reroute another. Less work than a WJ booster/MC and same end result, dual diaphragm booster with 1" bore MC.
