Chassis lubrication?

I do my own oil and filter and fuel filter changes. But in the manual it states to lubricate the zerk fittings if it has them. I see nowhere where to lubricate the chassis. And what about the u joints?

There are zerk fittings on the front axel shaft u-joints (4X4's only). You have to turn the wheels all the way to lock in one direction then rotate the shaft to find the fitting (hubs unlocked).

Yup, just the axle U joints, everything else is sealed and non greasable.

I too would love to see some pics of the zerk locations on the front u-joints. I found a zerk fitting on the rear axle u-joint, but there doesn't seem to be anything on the front ones.
