I tried to take a picture with my cheapo digital, but no good. The screw in question is an allen head that is locked down with a hex jam nut (maybe 3/4 or 13/16). It is on the top of the steering gear near the front on what appears to be a square-ish cover plate that is held down by four bolts. I adjusted mine while I had my radiator cover off anyway to change my water pump... it might not be necessary to get this out of the way to do an adjustment on the gear, but I think it made the job easier. It's probably been about 1500 miles since I tightened mine down, and I haven't noticed any return of the steering slop. Of course, I'm not beating the hell out of my steering and suspension with any off-roading in my 2wd.
