Granted theres a lot of stuff to do but the only real thing that you have to do is bypass the park/neutral safety switch, witch only lets the vehicle start if its in one of those gears.  this is done easily by routing the wires together with a butt connector

It's actually fairly simple. I did mine over a weekend. Hardest part was getting the clutch master cyclinder in. Only one wire has to be connected to get the thing to run. Its definitely the best swap you could do to your truck. The auto tranny isn't even worthy of a boat anchor in my opinion. Somehow I managed to sell mine for more than I paid for the entire running 5spd donor truck! Sucker
85 4runner. Nothing Special...Gears, Lockers, Tires and Suspension. Oh yeah and I actually know how to work on and drive it. 4 wheeling is becoming to popular...If you're some wanna be smuck stay on the pavement.
