I love the truck, havcent really been off-roading, and dont really do off-roading per-se, other than logging trails fishing or hunting.
How neccessary is the LSD ?
In snow etc recently it has no problem at all
My '03 SR5 with TRD and tow package came with LSD, but you're right: It's an add-on ($275 on mine). Here's a link to a discussion about 4wd attributes that has some good info about differentials and how they work, especially towards the end:
