Am I crazy? Oh and I can get one for about 1500, 2000 grand less then I can sell the 80 for. Plus a few grand from my 02 Focus I will be selling. All of which I plan to but right back in the Montero in PM and mods. Like 33, lift lights and a ARB bumper.

I just will no longer be a LC owner. Am I crazy?
Not crazy at all; your points are valid and you definitely know your future plans for an offroad rig. A Montero will suite your needs nicely, especially in the mpg dept. I don't know about the different Montero generations but a buddy has a '92 (I think) and his rear axle is just beefy as the 80 rear axle with huge rotors. Plus, there seemed to be more interior space and that sunroof , it's HUGE!

Go for it w/o any guilt!
