toyota hilux gearbox swap auto to manual?

[jackthelad1984]

Hi all, just wanted to pick some brains as to weather or not its straightforward to swap a auto box for a manual one? I have fancied a hilux surf/4 runner for some time but would much prefer a manual, these are not as common as the auto's and seem to fetch a premium, however a few autos have cropped up locally at good prices and got me thinking, obviously a box and peddle box would be needed, has anyone done this swap before or could shed some light on any difficulties?
cheers all

why not go the whole hog and put the 1uz-fe into it as well?
