    I like the way it looks, and yes I have a 6000k HID kit. The only thing is that the projection part is a piece of crap, so it isn't very bright. But you get used to it. I'll have some off road lights I can use for my high beams soon enough lol

    ok i used the off road H4 glass on my taco with 10,000k hid kit. The high beams are WOW but the low beams are ok better than what was in there tho. I thought i was the only one with low beam lows.

    Found a sweet trail. Nothing too extreme until we came across some mud my buddy couldn't get through in his Impreza. Here is a clip with some crappy video and pictures. SORRY ABOUT THE SHAKY CAMERA. My navigator/cameraman does not know how to hold a camera.

    The job isn't difficult at all. Jack the truck as high up as possible. Start disconnecting all wires n wire holding brackets off transmission. remove slave cylinder and starter. Start losening all transmission bolts from block. Remove top bolts completely and leave a few bolts towards the bottom. Disconnect drive shaft from differential and slide out. (make sure to drain the transmission first). Once shaft is removed go ahead and remove 4 bolts holding the rear of the transmission. Swing a jack under the transmission and raise it up. Strap down the transmission to the floor jack. Remove shifted from inside cab. Lower jack slowly. Break lose the transmission bell housing from block away from 2 alignment dowel pins. Push transmission back slowly till it can't go no more than lower it, bell housing lowers fiesta and than the rear slopes down after.

    Pressure plate removal. Clutch removal. Flywheel removal. You'll need a pilot bearing tool and slide hammer to remove pilot bearing. Mind S well do your rear main seal also. Resurface flywheel. Reassembled clutch and pressure plate. Install new throw out bearing on transmission. Grease up the throw out bearing fork and reassembled transmission to block.

    I did the full clutch kit. Pilot bearing. Throw bearing and rear main seal. Transmission fluid is eneos. Draining differential as well.
