Just get all the appropriate stuff from a manual landcruiser.

It's not impossible at all but there's more in it than you probably think - pedal box, hydraulic clutch assembly, deleting the start interlock and kickdown mechanism quite apart from the mechanical work. You'd need lots of parts from a donor car.

Personally, I'd leave it auto - much better to drive offroad, but that's a different debate.
