The following pictures are intended to provide you a step-by-step review of the grease fittings on your drivetrain. So far, I haven't been let down, and the second grease gun doesn't occupy much space in the garage. Some feel it's not necessary to use both types of grease (due to having to keep 2 grease guns available), but I'm a strong believer in following the factory recommendations. Your Toyota Owner's Manual or Factory Service Manual specifies the proper type of grease to use on each part - either a moly or lithium base. Note: The Toyota Owner's Manual and the Factory Service Manual both recommend an NLGI-2 moly grease for the double-cardan joints, and an NLGI-2 lithium-based grease for the u-joints and slip yokes.
For longevity of moving parts, it's important that all greasable points in the chassis are regularly checked and pumped with grease: and depending on severity of use or mud and water encountered, these points should be checked after every vehicle use. Whether your Toyota is a trail-only machine, a weekend trailrider and daily driver, or a commuter vehicle, there are many lubrication points on the chassis which should not be overlooked.
