To follow up on this, I ended up going with the Savvy steering skid.

What’s the trick with the steering box bolt at the bottom?

The hole is preexisting. I stuck a length of wire through from below. Then dropped the nut onto the wire from above to land it over the hole. From there I was able to hand thread the bolt onto the nut until it was as snug as I could get it before putting a wrench on it.

This was Dave's way of installing this skid on my jeep... another solution.
