06 Outer Tie Rod End Lube

I feel like such a tard, I have an 06 4x4 and havn't seen the fittings for the tie rod ends, are they hidden like the front drive shaft? Or am I blind. I did a search but still didn't come to a solid answer for my 06.

I have yet to find a single grease point. Anyone know how many there are on an 06 4x4 with all stock components and where they are?

I have 3. One on each outer tie rod end, and one on the front driveshaft CV joint that must be greased with a pointed fitting. The tie rod ends are standard zerk type fittings.
