Has anyone come up with a design for a skid plate to protect a saginaw steering box on a flattie. My bumper is 2" X 4" boxed channel so probably can mount to it.

I've not had many issues with the box, lots of other things get hit first.

I have mine mounted fairly low compared to other guys and I've never had any issues. The leaf spring protects it to a certain degree.

I have never had an issue but that could be the way I drive and what I am driveing over. 
The one on the '64 CJ5 is mounted lower than the one on the '52 M38.
