Prado 90 series Auto cooler

Can anyone recommend a western sydney based company to install an auto transmission cooler into a prado V6 petrol 90 series.
We tow a heavy off road camper trailer and I am concerned that we may overheat the auto transmission when off road.

I have put a jimny motor in my WT sierra. It bolted straight up without any problems. To answer christover1 i am not sure if it is a G or M. Another benefit is the power steering.
