    The Maintenance guide for my '13 Taco says to "Re-torque propeller shaft bolt".
    Are they talking about the four bolts that hold the drive shaft to the transmission output shaft and also the four bolts at the differential ? It's singular, as in "bolt", so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to tighten.

    Tighten them to spec and then get some acrylic paint and dab where the bolt flange meets the surface. This way you only need to perform a visual inspection each year. (the bolts are really unlikely to back out under normal driving conditions anyway)

    Picture for example:
