    Greetings!

    I just got under my 2020 TRD 4x4 access cab and I was surprised to see no grease fittings on the forward propeller shaft.

    My GF has a 2017 and I’ve been lubing her forward shaft but I guess the 2020 has all sealed u joints throughout now.

    Am I the first guy to get under their 2020 and see this?!

    Cheers to all. Glad to finally be a member of the Tacoma fan club.

    You're lubing her shaft? You sure she says who she says she is?

    Would be interested to find out if they completely went away from zerks. They’re hard to find oftentimes.

    Also, in for pics of lubing the forward shaft (for a friend)

    I think that means you are supposed to grease the entire underside so the frame doesn’t rust away :D

    My 19 doesn’t have any either, there might be some up front that I missed the first time I was looking. Did they update the manual or does it still include greasing prop shaft?
