I think its a quark with these things, I have heard of this a few times. if its wet enough here, sometimes they will be so touchy, it will activate the ABS

Nope. brand new rotors, reman calipers, new pads, my 94 did this same thing, it did the same thing when I had the other calipers on there as well, have also done a brake system flush.
my buddys does this as well, as a few others that I know of.

I am pretty sure its coming from the fronts, if it ever gets warm, I will clean out the drums though.

I took 2 Trailer hitch adapters (1-1/4" hitch to 2") to a local machine shop and had holes drilled and threaded on a mill, to be able to bolt them in the frame with the original bolts, where the factory hooks were mounted. Then I inserted D-Ring Receiver Hitch's and had a buddy of mine cut a couple ears out of 1/4 inch plate with a plasma cutter. He mig welded them to the D-Ring Receivers and then I painted all of the raw metal so it wouldn't rust and mounted my bull bar to the ears. Now I just gotta run the power to the lights.
