How hard is it to convert ln65 hilux to power steering truck currently has armstrong unit

Simple... the power steer box is a bolt-for-bolt replacement for the non-power steer unit... and you should be able to scavenge the hoses, reservoir and pump from a power steer unit and bolt them up - although you might need to shorten your steering shaft as the power steer box has a longer input shaft from memory...

It makes a huge difference...

Then forget the above and use a prado or an IFS surf power steer box and some high-steer arms and go crossover... you'll limit travel and just break things with the standard setup...
