"In 3 trips and a few thousand miles on the road I've gone through 2 sets of inner and outter wheel bearings (inner came out in 20 pieces), ball joints are totally shot, blew up a front right U joint, and busted a drivers side axle shaft."
Unless you're just dead set on swapping that thing out, sounds to me like some preventative maintainence/better parts would stop alot of that, other than that you could just buy some shafts to polish that thing.
