The easiest way to determine if your vehicle has ABS is to get in and turn the key. you should get the normal airbag and check engine light before starting. if you have ABS you will also have an ABS light that turns on.

Well just to let everyone know, I started on the conversion last night after I finally got all the misc. parts from local toyota dealer.
I have almost completed the passenger side, just need to tighten some bolts and remount the tire. I rebuilt both hubs and have gone through and given everything a once over. The conversion is pretty straight forward and I look forward to seeing the difference on and off road.

I did not press in new bearings. I am hoping that the spindles that I received from Nix99 (Death Cougar) contain good bearings in them. It will be only a matter of time before I can tell if I am right or not.

Well I got it all completely put together last night. All in all a really easy conversion to do. Thank you all for the links they came in handy.
The Taco drives smoother and seems to have a little more acceleration without having to push the front end. If you are not looking to do a SAS anytime soon and have ADD and a lift, I reccomend this mod.
