Update: I tried to drill and extract. One side of the bolt blew out due to an uncentered drilled hole, so it's still there.
I'm guessing a body shop or reputable Jeep shop is my next pursuit. Dammit.
Returned shortly after midnight from a ~3500 mile round trip to Colorado for the holiday with friends and family. Rolled over 39,000 miles on the return.
I too replaced the key fob battery in my primary fob. It lasted 2.5 years. Thankfully, Dollar General had a two-pack in stock, so now I have a spare in the glove box.
I know this is months old now, but add me to the list of broken bolts. Front driver side snapped after making a couple of turns. '21 JLUR.
Like an idiot, I followed Barricade's instructions, which said nothing about loctite, heat, or warnings of snapping the twigs they use for bolts. I...

Jeeps are great road trip vehicles.
Mine:
The Jeep is a car, not a truck. (JT is an exception, but a questionable one.)
The Gladiator is a Wrangler.
I think ducks are fun.
Most men use Jeeps as extensions of their egos.
The 'not a Jeep' JL v JK v YJ v whatever generation conversations are childish.
There's nothing about the JL...
5er here, too.
To be honest, delaying the large expense of tire replacement and not wanting a brand/model mismatch (with an oddball spare) were my biggest justifications. 😅
Waiting to see how things go for me. Ordered a Steer Smarts track bar yesterday shortly before midnight. FedEx sent shipping update at 12:45pm today, and I got the shipping confirmation email from Quadratec shortly after 9pm tonight. Delivery scheduled for tomorrow.
