Have been pricing up options for the 05-15 model, if same transmission then the below will work.
This is an interesting read for you.

http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/toyota-o ... setup.htmlThey also do a leftie, gear driven transfer, with any ratio but they wont warranty them for our diesels due to torque output. Have read of a few failures online also.
On facebook look up hillside offroad, the owner Max put duals into an auto hilux, gave me plenty of pointers to help with contacts for a manual setup.
I looked into verso, strong and kits available, just stupid expensive.
Personally I am undecided as to tacobox or leave as is, and accept the small amount of clutch slip or wheelspin on rocky climbs.
