    After we disinfect it of course, what with the Covids all over it now.

    Looks like the bottom of the BDS spindle broke off. That's crazy. Lucky it didn't kill you, but not the shop's fault. Chinesium metal strikes again. According to everyone on this forum BDS is the best lift you can buy though...

    You could hang that truck from a bridge by that control arm. Using the hook around the outside of the control arm with the spindle not attached anymore probably wasn't a good idea.

    Probably cause the shop got a new spindle from BDS and fixed him up. It wasn't the shop's fault like he thought. End of story.

    I heard it was the transmission cooler that broke the spindle from excessive heat.

    BeachBuggy (the OP) was on Tundras.com on October 10 but didn't update this thread. If anyone sees him on the site, we ought to ask about it.

    If the OP can roll an 18 or better he can cast Magnussen-Moss lvl VII: YOU FIX, NOW!!

    Lift shop will have to roll a 20 to make their saving throw. Let's see how this epic battle plays out!

    Maybe it wasn't the COVID. Maybe it was the test drive after the shop "fixed" it.
