This is my first post, but I have been here for a while reading and learning as much as I can.
I currently have a 1994 Jeep YJ lifted on 33's but it doesn't fit my needs. Not enough room for the family AND gear for play time. Plus, I am a Search and Rescue volunteer and the Wrangler is just too small for that as well.
So, because of this I am looking into a new vehicle that will fit both bills... So far the Montero is at the top of the list, #2 is the Trooper and an XJ is in a distant 3rd.
I found a 94 Montero SR on CL that has 218,000 miles on it, has a clean title, owners says it runs/drives great but needs a lower intake manifold to pass smog (CA). He is asking $800 for it, so even if I paid the asking price I would have several grand from the sale of the YJ to put back into the Montero... So with that does this look like something I should pursue further or does it look like a dead end road?
Here is a link to the CL ad w/ pictures.

**** EDIT ****
I also found this 97 LS w/ 140,000 for $800

Your thoughts are appreciated!
Thanks!
