    How's it going everyone, this is my first truck and I'm pretty stoked about it. But after sifting through all these threads about some common issues these trucks seem to have, I realized I've got some work to do.

    The first thing I've checked was the driveline and for any loose nuts or bolts and any signs of leakage. I noticed there aren't any zerk fittings on the drive shaft, is this right? FYI I bought this truck used with about 8k on the clock so I'm not sure if there were any issues with the previous owner or if any tsbs have been taken care of.

    Also, I moved down to Orlando about a few weeks ago and have a Crf450r that I've been wanting to ride around here. Does anyone know where there's any local riding areas? Natural terrain or tracks?

    Thanks

    Welcome to TW! I don't know about 3rd gen drive shafts, but 2nd gen 4x4s had zerks. I'm sure someone will chime in with the correct info.
