ABS Sensor Guards from Ohana Rig Supply - Just for fun



So for all the hardcore rock crawlers that want to maximize their 470 and 460 this may be a little extra mod to add to the rig. These are ABS sensor guards that also have mounts for small rock lights. If you're going through heavy scrub or rocky terrain then these would protect the sensor and wire. While not terribly expensive or difficult to fix, the sensor ties into many driving modules so if its cut then your dashboard will light up like disco.

These are from Ohana Rig Supply. More of a just for fun mod for me, but I figured I'd get them fit up and take a look. After all, "just for fun" has always been a legitimate excuse to mod!

They use the abs sensor mount bolt, and the wire bracket bolt. These put a guard in front of the ABS sensor and wire. They fit up against the inside of the brake shield and bend behind the tie rod. Small rock lights can be mounted to the top of the bracket above the steering link. These will move with the wheel so will aim where you point. 

I don't have any lights on mine and I wonder how much the wheel itself blocks the flood of the light.

They fit tightly behind the steering tie rod and it looks like its touching at full lock. I'll keep an eye on them over time and see if I can determine how tightly they contact based on any witness marks. It does look like these brackets can be bent a little out of the way if they are contacting too heavily. 

If you know you need them... or you just want them, then give ORS a call and try them out. 

I will say that I did have some questions about the mounting and when I contacted ORS via FB messenger he was very helpful.
