Default Chassis Lube?

I did my first oil change on my 2011 last month. On my last 4x4, a Toyota, I had to grease a few zirk fittings on the driveshafts at oil changes. As far as I know, this would be the "lubricate chassis" normally shown on an oil change invoice.

Do I need to grease any fittings on the jk at oil changes?

All I did last month was rotate tires and change oil and filter. But today I got a complimentary service coupon from the dealer for a free first oil change and I see it also shows a chassis lube is included. I didn't see any fittings to lube, so I assume this is the normal dealership smoke blowing, or are there indeed fittings to be lubed under there somewhere?

There is nothing greaseable on a stock JK. Plastic lined joints that dry out and wear very fast used.

It's like the tune up coupon that says Idle and timing adjusted to specs. I think you have to go back to the early nineties before you find an adjustable timing and earlier than that for adjustable idle. But it's still in their coupons. And I have yet to meet a tech that actually did it on a vehicle that ran ok. You slap some plugs and shoot it out the door. Done. LOL.

Ok, that's what I figured when I couldn't see any fittings to grease.

Thanks guys!
