    His points were not all valid.

    Canting the rear diff takes the stress of a steeper driveshaft angle off, that's why they do it...

    How many noticed he suddenly was talking about race cars at 1:52?

    I wonder how many energy monster drinks he had before filming and if that was actually his own truck.

    I'm thinking a bunch of us should reply to his vid all with the same canned statement like:

    "Hey bro, you mad you lifted your truck and didn't know what you were doing?"
