It most likely got power steering.
As far as I know all jimnys from 1998 have.

Agreed, the steering should be really quite light on a jimny, so if it's not I would examine it for faults most obviously a leak. Just for clarification though would you be able to post a picture of the engine bay?

Maybe someone has removed the drivebelt to "cure" a problem?  I don't think an unassisted steering box exists, unless other countries got them.

Looking at the parts catalogs, non-PS Jimnys do exist.

My suggestion would be to find a PS equipped model in a junkyard and grab the necessary bits. My philosophy is to use "factory bits" where ever possible, they were "engineered" to fit right and do the job.

It is the same steering box as the SJ so there is a box without assist, but not delivered on a jimny gen3 as far as I know. Or maybe the 2wd?
