I think I have a plan for removing the ABS actuator. I ran into a very helpful guy over on Marlin's site that has done it: http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=23361.0

Got the flex line yesterday, just waiting on the fittings which are BOed.

Got the ORS battery tray welded in place and painted:

I did have one little mishap while welding the battery tray in. I started a fire where the plastic in the wheel well touches the sheet metal. Lucky I was just tack welding and was able to scramble out of the engine bay before the fire got too big. I took a big huff and blew it out like it was a b-day cake.

There was burning plastic dripping all over my tire

Got the 3.0 cruise control relocated to the other side, had to switch two of the CC supports around and bolt them back on.:

The original cable looks to fit perfect from there, but because the 3.4 TB is diiferent than the 3.0, I had to cut the end off the cable and make a new end for it out of an old bolt:

A slight tack weld on the very end and a little cutting and grinding yielded this:

I'll see if it holds up, no huge deal if your CC fails on you.
