I got my complete jimny ps setup from suzi four wreckers in sydney, not sure on the price of just the box itself but i doubt it'd be cheap. A complete setup goes for approx $700 and i reckon the box is the most expensive part.

Jimny box is bolt on. Can't comment on their performance though, sorry.

I have not yet finished the install due to uni work, but i think the extent of the jimny setup being straight bolt-on stops at the steering box. I have had to redrill the pump bracket to bolt onto the engine, pump bracket needed to be modified to allow adjustablility of the belt tension as it had no provision for this (the adjuster was probably on the aircon bracket on the jimny), and you need to fabricate a mount somewhere for the reservoir.
All in all theres not a huge deal of work to be done to fit it all up but i've just been doing it as time permits so its taken me a bit longer.
So jimny ps steering box = bolt-on
rest of the ps setup = small amount of fabrication needed
