As a thought experiment, I contemplated what could fail on my truck on such a trip. Front end is possibly the weak point even greased really often. You would have to carry ball joints, full set of tie rod and steering components, u joints . Haven't had a wheel bearing failure, I don't have chineseium parts there but I have destroyed the differential twice: once for a lube failure, the other because it wasn't put back together correctly.
Does eat front rotors pretty regularly. They don't fail but the rotors warp really often. My Achilles heel.

So what kind of repair facilities could I expect? Probably need as a minimum a bearing press to get old ones off
