Just because they are tight does not mean they are good. Did you use OEM (Toyota) U-joints or aftermarket. OEM are the best.

Is the truck lifted, using rear blocks?. Non-stock drive angles can quicken u-joint wear. Damaging the bearings on install, or not greasing them up can/will also cause early wear.
