Stretching your mileage on long off-road drives

Just curious if anyone else has noticed or heard of this issue. I got my TRD Off-Road on June 1st. I went to my suspension shop on 6/14 to get the Westcott pre-load collar installed. My mechanic called me back to his shop 30 mins later to show me that the passenger side CV Boot had failed and the truck was flinging grease everywhere. I took it to my closest dealer here in San Diego and they agreed the boot had failed. They ordered the part and said it would be in within 2 days. The 2nd date push moved the ETA to 6/25, the 3rd date push was to 7/03, and the 4th date push moved the ETA to 7/15. As of today 7/16, the service department told me now Toyota has told them the CV Boot Kit would arrive sometime in December of 2024. Has anyone else heard of this issue coming up?

What steps do you take to manage fuel consumption during extended off-road trips?

I carry a 5 gallon jerry can, and I've never NEEDED it, I've just used it because I don't like driving out in the middle of nowhere looking at 1/4 of a tank.
