Look in the buisness section for BenT conversion kits. His P/S kit makes a vitara setup an easy bolt in conversion. Jimny PS will fit also, no conversion kit needed but the setup is 2-3 times more expensive to but then vitara.

When doing your conversion it is a good idea to put in new oil lines. I got a single high pressure line made up for around $100, makes it easier to fit also as the vitara lines are steel and don't fit the chassis rails of the Sierra alll that well.

cressida is 100% custom work, but a smaller, stronger box then the vitara, it also is more powerful...

What year / model range do the cressida power steering boxes need to come from?

What is the over view of the work required for the cressida steering box install?
Drill some holes in the chassis rail?
Make a braket from some plate?
Get new pipes made?
What is require for the drag link, Pitman arm to come together? etc...
