    Once the U joint starts chirping, replace quickly, will get worse quickly

    Center ball? I need a diagram or pics.
    Don't need a relay if all pods is less than about 10amps. If you want to use a relay a normal automotive 4 pin relay is all you need.
    Here's a calculator to convert watts to amps.

    there is a ball and pin in the center of the CV, it needs to be greased as well, if it isn't the CV will get off center and vibe bad, if you're going to rebuild CV, replace the ball ( there is a bearing in center of ball as well )
    view the pics in PDF above, parts are very similar if not that same

    The rest of my switches came in, was trimming some plastic so they would fit when I found out how sharp my knife was and stabbed my self, nothing a few stitches couldn't fix.. I realized its going to take a while to finish wiring the switches... 5 wires per switch, 6 switches.. 30 wires :boom:

    $1200 @ dealer ( mine was replaced before I bought it, dealer (Leath) refuses to change joints.

    Being that you have wheeled your truck, I'd look close at it to see if it's not bent, twisted or dented, that's a long span to not have anything intrude on when off-road.

    If you need joints, you may as well take it to a driveline shop, they'll likely replace them anyway if you just say balance it. Probably replace the center bearing as well.

    Number 6 is for the centering ball between the yoke sections, easy to miss, and usually is.

    If shaft had been repIred before a lot of shops install a cone fitting in place of the zerk, makes it easier to get at with grease needle.
    Earlier Toyotas with this style double cardan joint on the front driveshaft actually had a special grease fitting included in the vehicle tool kit to allow easier access to this fitting.
