My camera setup:

You very well maintained your 2004 Tacoma and everything looks still in a good shape, not rusty.
@@BK_BT , do you live in a snow area ? If so it's a good idea to spray the areas that are prone to rust with lanolin , once a year
On the 4x4 Access and Double cabs there's 9 zerks including 3 on the front driveshaft and 6 on the rear driveshaft.
Thanks for video. Nice looking truck by the way.
great video didn't know about the fitting for slip yoke. thanks
you can grease the slip yoke more than 2-3 pumps...
What size is that zurch fitting on the slip yoke?
You can use BRAKE CLEANER to clean the zerks and parts before and after pump the fresh grease that way keep them clean and look nice ( If customers check your work then you are doing good job) kk Good luck!!
What size is that zurxh fitting on the slip yoke
I have a swishing sound in reverse im sure its in drive too just not as loud.
What do you think?
I thought Id ask cause Ive watched a few of you videos an you sound like you know what your talking about.
An how do you keep your tacoma so rust free from the salty air in florida.
When you say 2-3 pump on the slip yoke like full pull back and push all the way?
THANKS!
oil tray so you don't stain the driveway
Thanks for the vid. Quick question: I have a 2006 Tacoma and according to my mechanic, some of the zerks need a 'needle' type of grease gun end attachment. The zerks are more like an indented cone shape and need an attachment that fits that kind of zerk. Do you have such a situation with your Tacoma?
Watch the tacomaholic vid on this. He shows the attachment you need
I have a 13 tacoma prerunner v6 2wd, why do I have zero grease points on my driveshaft?
I heard you are suppose to use moly greas on the slip yoke
Yes, but the jury is out on that. Later years I've heard it's no longer required.
I use amsoils red grease & it's fantastic
My 2018 SR 4x4 had 2 zerks on the front drive shaft and none on the rear drive shaft
U had the squeak that went away after u replaced the carrier bearing, then came back a few days later right?
I don't think its a great idea to spray brake parts cleaner around a joint that requires grease even if your going to put more in it. grease needs to remain thick spraying that breaks it down. Just a thought
@@BK_BT I don't think it's a great idea to spray brake parts!!
I agree, it’s not going to help with the seal’s longevity. Just wipe off well before and after greasing.
I like those ramps, who makes them?
Are they stackable?😀
What about the chassis or ball joints? I can’t find any nipples on my 2016 Tacoma.
Thanks.
can you post a link of the two different types of grease say on amazon? great video:)
@@BK_BT thanks
888 WERKES Just ordered mine, got a good grease gun at Harbor Freight with a pistol grip and flexible application tube.....
Hey I added geese on my Tacoma 2004 2wd today and it fuck up my drive shaft it clicks
Any issues with having mismatch grease?
Is it neccessary to clean before
Yep. Unless you want to push grit into the grease ports
Question: I’ve got a 2000 4x2 PreRunner i found 5 zerks. I watched your video AFTER I greased the yoke. So, what if I pumped more than 3 pumps on the yoke? I think I did 6. The shaft moved as I was doing it. Help
The drive will be stiff. After a few weeks of driving it will get back to normal.
Don't you want a grea with molybdenum for the u-joints?
Brake cleaner is bad for the grease cups bro.
@@BK_BT yeah, brake cleaner is probably better than using a de-greaser like soap?
You should get help with your camera, but good job anyways.....
888 WERKES Yeah, that’s why God invented girlfriends and wives LOL!! 😂
888 WERKES Are there other places that can and should be greased in the front suspension, the control arms, etc??
Perhaps.........you can be his camera man!
I enjoyed this video until I saw the Florida plate and then I just felt sad.
Could you elaborate on what you mean? Or did you just hear that and you adopted that as your own narrative?
