What I typically do is find relay harnesses that connect together (like the ones at www.delcity.net).

You can connect all the relays in a row and then screw them down to the firewall or some other out of the way place.

I don't know of any premade boxes though.

ISO Relay Socket
Wiring socket for use with standard ISO-type automotive relays.
Color-coded wires come pre-attached for ease of installation.
Can be joined together to make installation of multiple relays a snap (see photo).

Those look like the same harnesses that www.delcity.net has, but Delcity has them for $1.50 a piece!

Of course you could always go to a vehicle breakers and look for Cherokees, they had a lovely longitudinal relay/fuse box for the engine bay and a square one inside.
