I don't know if it's been tried yet, but a front steer rack turned upside down could work.

I looked into importing an 02' Tacoma to New Zealand and converting it over to RHD.  Do a bit of research but from memory the tacoma shares the same steering rack as the 4 runner(check part numbers)??  If i am not mistaken and this is the case, you could use a japanese toyota Surf RHD rack as well as the dash assembly.

if your going straight customs, try looking for a rhd mail truck steering... cause they are pretty much a rhd s10
