Mine to use but not mine
Started off at the Cleator Bar with Ms LCP had a great time and was upgrade to get the local discount (thanks Mike). Can that truck go off road? Hell yes, here is a map to Antelope falls a few miles away.
Wheels just like a Land Cruiser waterfall in the background
Nice find at the end of a canyon
Definitely will be visiting during the summer monsoons. Zero trash off the beaten path very clean so not much traffic.
Bonus rock art

Put in a LOT of miles last week!
Monday headed from Scottsdale to Carlsbad CA for beach camping.
The required stop at the dunes:
All set up before sunset on the observation deck
After 3 nights there, headed back to AZ to drop off the kids and head straight to Schnebly Hill for a few nights and amazing views.
Schnebly Hill Rd
Then to avoid the storms we headed north west for some Grand Canyon rock jumping.
One epic week

I sorted out my dash. Now to put it back together!
-Delta VS rear panhard bracket installed (not enough miles on it to see if it improves handling yet)
-4x new tie rod ends installed (removed originals with 26 years and 207k)
-installed some homemade , low-pro rock rails
Getting ready for some winter desert excursions!

So 100 folk. Went ahead and boosted my spare tire. Given im already running 255/85/16, it tucked up there considerably tighter as is, especially compared to the fatter 285 75 16. But this trick really gets it up and hides it away nicely, especially skinnys. It would be worth it for 285's for sure.
I believe 03+ has the evap charcoal above the spare tire. That makes this 20 minute job considerably longer as you would need to relocate that and all it's lines, as it's in the way of the tire cross member and prevents a simple spacer for the added height.
There's a few write ups on this mod but I liked @Lucky Strike detail best. It's a half banana job.

Finished installing an OME lift and put a new battery in using Phil’s hold down bracket.
What is the Delta panhard bracket supposed to do for the ride?
Me too - 4x new tie rod ends on my 1992 after 26 years and 232K miles, and re-packed bearings. The tie rod ends were more worn out than I knew -- major improvement in steering and braking stability. Now she's ready for three weeks on dirt in Mexico, and then a few more decades and a few hundred thousand more miles.

Agree! I didn't necessarily appreciate a lot of play in the front previously, but after the TRE's, the Delta bracket, spindles and hub bearings, she's a 2 finger driver again. All it needs is another hundred HP!
@Ken in AZ , did the panhard bolt provided with the Delta VS bracket make contact with your OME spring? Mine does. I wish it was 1/4-1/2" shorter.
It’s just an extension to the fuseable link, which now resides outsid the battery box. If you look at @LandCruiserPhil post on the battery hold down it’ll make perfect sense.
I'll do a diesel swap if the 3FE ever dies - in like 2050.
Mine does not hit the spring. What coil are your using? I have J coils front and back.
I run J's in the front, 863 (heavies) in the rear.
Odd Im also on 863 but no contact. Are you using other than stock rear control arms?
