I have the following sources saved from some years ago.
Disclaimer: I have never bought or change any of the U-joints in my Patrol :twisted: . More than +300k miles.
For me this is a matter of careful engineering, coupled with good quality. The engine, rear arbor, and rear axle, are at a straight alignment under regular conditions, so the U-joints don't do any major job.

That's further than a one-way shot to the moon! On one set of U-joints! That does indicate that our Patrols are well engineered! ;-)

BTW, the the moon is about 238K miles from earth so you'd be about 1/3 of the way home if you went that route!
