I've owned mine four about 5 months. Have not been on any trails yet - but soon. I have replaced the ball loints, tie rod ends, steering gear, left front cv half shaft, shocks and tires and wow what a difference this maintenance has made. I am replacing the passenger side shaft with green cup this week cause some dum dum put a tripod style cv joint/cup on BUT do you all really go through joints this often? No exaggerations? Where are they breaking? If its at the inner cup maybe that is worn such that your replacements don't last.
