All good input, and thanks for all the responses! At this point, I'm leaning heavily towards the Montero, I like the looks better (a cosmetic thing only) - I think ti all comes down to what was said in a previous post - find the first rust free truck that comes along and then go from there.

It wouldn't be worth swapping axles from the isuzu for the support since ours are supported by newer monteros and the dealer still and ours come with lockers.

Well, the decision is made. I WILL be going with the Montero...assuming I can find one in decent shape here in the midwest/KC area. So, if ANYONE knows of anything fairly close to the area, drop me a line - I'll be checking Craigslist twice a day amongst other "for sale" sites as well.
I want to thank everyone who offered input on this, it really helped me make the decision. I'll let y'all know what I find, etc. when I do find one.
Thanks Again!
