    hello all, my daughter and I taking first overlanding trip to CO, WY, UT, ID and MT in August. My truck is stock except for my 4.56 gearing. I'm at 190k miles and think that my LBJ's and shocks/struts are all original. Should those be the first order of business to replace before going on trip, or is there something else?

    Timing belt/water pump if it hasn't been done already. Consider a radiator and hoses if you're doing the timing belt.

    Welcome! I would definitely work on that suspension before you go, especially the LBJ's. It's highly recommended to go OEM on the lower ball joints.
