My SE didn't come with ABS and I don't miss it. A much simpler system to bleed and maintain as the vehicle ages. And most of all, it's not really needed. My Jeep stops scary fast, especially after I redid the rear brakes where I found missing adjuster pieces. I now worry that I'm likely to get rear-ended if something happens in front of me. There is no way any of the fancy 1/2 ton pickups with ABS I own (and did own) would come close to the short stopping distances the Jeep is capable of. Some of us are actually capable of not panicking when sh*t happens in front of us and can modulate brakes, avoid stuff, and not lose it when the vehicle goes a bit sideways. ABS is primarily for those without this capability. Most of you already know (or will find out) that ABS increases stopping distances on loose surfaces.
