    If you have a chance would you mind crawling under and snapping a few pics of the location of the zerks? I want to finish this up http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/4-cylinder/37648-complete-30k-maintenance.html

    Note the grease spray on the under side of the cab.

    This u-joint required 3 pumps of grease. You can see from the grease marks that most of the grease has come out and it is in need of grease.
