A quick follow up note on Russell's question:
I loved the LWB Montero I had. It held a lot of stuff, and It did well for what it was. I also loved the 2.6 Raider I had. It was a bit underpowered, but it drove straight, and I regret ever getting into the bad-a$$ed Raider build with the jacka$$ who ultimately stole my FJ40 that I never got to drive. Finally, I regret selling my V6 Raider to Kirk after I finally got it running correctly. That rig had a lot of work put into it, and I truly wish I kept it for my kid.

All that said, the Cruiser is a COMPLETELY different rig than any of the "Montys" that I've owned. It is a rig with R-O-O-M to build it with all I wanted in it, and it's finally getting there.

I hope that answers the mail...
