Thread pitch of bolts holding on the brush bar on the Sasquatch and Black Diamond packages?

Does anyone know the thread pitch of the bolts used to hold the factory brush bar? They are three inches long, and stick out too far to allow the use of a shackle for recovery. Metal ones won’t rotate up enough and will likely cause damage to the bolt if it’s pulled. Or if using a soft shackle, the sharp edges will likely cut the shackle.

Seeing a lot of connectivity issues here today

Anybody else? All of my other sites seem to be fully functional… maybe time to feed the hamster again?

Driver’s window switch panel suddenly inoperative

Title says it all. The windows will function normally at the other three locations using their individual switches, but nothing works from the driver’s switchgear. Remote open/close are fine as well.

(5 minutes later…)

And it’s working again. Go figure.

Searched around for RDU issues, 2021 Big Bend with 53k miles (whirring noise when slowly turning Right only)

Just today when pulling in the drive I got a weird “whirring, and winding” type sound when I slowly turn right, it’s done it consistently on 3 slow right turns, doesn’t do it turning left. Taking it in Saturday to have it looked at, really worried it’s RDU but that seems to be a noise from the rear? this is definitely coming from the front/engine bay area, sounds like it’s almost in the passenger seat with me. Any similar issues, ideas?

2024 Badlands Clicking/Knock sound/noise under front end on deceleration/turns

Hello everyone. I posted this in the 2.0 engine forum, but this might get better reach and relations

First, we love our ’24 Badlands.
No issues through 15k miles. But I have a question that I haven’t really seen anything information or answers on. On our car, when braking and decreasing to 12-10 MPH, there is a soft “knocking” noise and the same sound is made when accelerating on turns. This hasn’t affected performance or given any issues, but it doesn’t sound right to me. I took it to the…

I found this on the drivers side mat. Today I vacuumed and wiped down my interior before finding this. It was sort of in a corner so it could’ve been there for a while.
