Destroyed truck
Hello fellow King Ranch owners,
This is my 1st post but I have been following this wesite for a while now. I figured it was time sign up and share my recent tragedy with you all.
About 3 months ago I took My 2005 King Ranch w/ 65,000 miles on it into a local tire and lube place that shall remain nameless, to have and oil change, tire rotation, tune up, spark plugs, and 60,000 mile service done. I dropped the truck off at around 9:00 am and went back to pick it up at 5:00 pm for this was an all day job.
While I was waiting in the lobby for them to finish up, I heard a tremedous crashing sound. I got up and looked to see my beautiful truck laying on its side. Apparently, soon after the truck was lifted about 6 feet in the air, the lift arm snapped and dropped my truck to the ground.
Luckily no one was hurt. Click on the URL too see the pics.

The tire place did settle pretty fairly with me and I was able to get a brand new 2010 King Ranch so it was not all bad. I didn't really need a new truck but I guess this was pretty good excuse to get one.
