Yes Autozone Oreilly CV axles last as good as any cheapo's and they are avail with lifetime warranty, no questions asked exchange. I am in their computer as owning a "few
fords.....so anytime I need a new CV axle for one of these trucks = freebie, under warranty

My wifes FJ cruiser eats cv axles, basically the way her suspension sits the inner boot was always rubbing on itself, then split, then losses grease = click click click. Off to Autozone for a free warranty replacement. Takes 20 minutes to swap out. Finally I got wiser and I cut their boot clamp off and add my own clamp, except this time I put the clamp a little further down the shaft so the inner boot no longer rubs on itself. Now I am getting 18-24 months out of her CV axles instead of 6....someday I will buy a long travel setup and be rid of the stock CV axles but until then Autozone CV's for me
