Depends who you ask. I know there are some who have pulled the fuse and removed the bulb, some that swear by it being the best thing ever. I am lifted on 34" mud tires, so I drive slow anyway, and ABS is horrible on the trail, I want it to pile up mud and dirt in front of the tires. I am sure there are others that will throw in their 2 cents on the advantages of it, but IMHO, its not worth spending the money to repair/maintain.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

imho the abs system in our VXs works well.. i have had a couple of stops where i was 2 tires on gravel two on dry pavement and stopped perfectly straight. that being said i do stop much faster in an emergency without abs. i had no problem driving for 12-18months without it, but i got it working again for about $125 (new used ABS module)
