Crazy Australians (4x4 fails 2018 video)

You have to hand it to the mates down under for being the craziest, most avid off-roaders in the world.
If you haven't seen this video before, it's 30 minutes of 4x4 fails on more than 100 trips from the Aussie Four Wheelers group:

And when I say "crazy", I definitely don't always mean it in a good way.
Some seriously irresponsible, livid driving that is guaranteed to break components.
When your 4x4 starts bouncing, release throttle!!

Enjoyed the vid....learnt a couple of things.

And by going too extreme, you will break something. Funnily enough, CV's were the predominant breakage.

I wonder on those CV's. These are all seriously lifted vehicles....normal angles of use are compromised, thus more and different forces come into play?
