It's really difficult to guess what is going on. Seen several new trucks eat the spider gears in the differential. But once they go, it's pretty severe and definitely not random.

I would drop the cover and see what you tore up.

Drifting cannot be the easiest thing on the rear end. You must have other mods to get the power to slide around like that. IF you still have the stock rear and if it is the G80 locker it sounds like that is not functioning correctly. The "wheel hop" may be the locker not unlocking causing the inner wheel to "hop" around the corner. Sort of like the "hop" feeling you get, in the front end, turning with 4x4 on dry pavement. Anyway, I have seen lots of drifting videos you guys are crazy.
