Can anybody give input the causes of axle breakage. Is it in the driving style. Your input is welcome. Im just new to off-roading. I want to take precaution on the do's and don'ts to avoid breaking my axle.

stock axles are fairly weak, they can break under stress. Like continuously flooring your vehicle, or trying to recover another vehicle. also during winching or rock crawling on steep grades. inadequate maintenance on key components such as bearings, gear lube, cv-joints, and ujoints can compound the problem.
