    I once something on a Toyota Tacoma causing some noise that sounded kind of serious to me. I was something of a 4x4 novice at the time (not that I'm an expert now by any means), but it sounded bad enough to me that I actually took it to a Toyota dealership to have it diagnosed. It turned out to be something of a forehead slapper when they told me all they'd needed to do was lube the u-joints and the slip-joint/sleeve yoke on the driveshaft, but it's something I've kept in mind ever since.

    So yeah, along with the u-joints on the ends, be sure to also lube the sleeve yoke on the driveshaft.

    You don't have to get under there with the vehicle moving - you can check when it is stopped.
