This is exactly what I think happened. Couldn't get them out using tow hooks, so likely used a chain and too small of a recovery vehicle. They likely tried to pull over and over again with force thinking it was like a kinetic rope...clearly the chain/strap didn't stretch and ripped the knuckle...
I owned 2 Tundras and still own a sequoia. I traded a crew max 4wd in for my gladiator and don't regret it a bit. I've had a bunch of jeeps(some at the same time as the trucks), but having a vehicle that can do all the truck things I need, and be a Jeep with Offroad prowess, was perfect for my...
Got underneath and torqued the bolts back down on the suspension(3000 miles post lift) and then pulled the rear sway bars and greased up the bushings to quiet things down.

btw, how have the RE links been? I need to buy a set of quick disconnects to replace my homemade ones, but I want to make sure I buy a set that stiffen up the front when connected, and stay quiet when they aren't disconnected.
You can buy the Rock Krawler or JKS straps separately if you need to. Back in the day, we would zip tie them to the sway bar, but it's not near as clean as the RK straps
