Torn on what to do...keep Runner or move into a LC

So I love my 3rd Gen. It is a great truck. Super clean in and out. No real issues with it (besides goofy fuel gauge...which seems to be working now). But here is my situation... I am thinking about moving into a Land Cruiser. I have always really liked them. I was very disappointed to learn that my Uncle recently sold his pristine 60 series. This thing was a beauty. I had no idea he was even selling it or I would have snatched it...he probably would have given it to me. Anyway, we now have 4 kiddos (I know). Wife drives an Odyssey since they are all in car seats (again...I know). My Runner is great when it is just me and my 2 older kids. If I ever want to take one of the twins somewhere, I can't b/c 3 car seats won't fit across the back of my Runner. I have tried, trust me. Herein lies my issue. If I move into a 100 series LC, I will get the 3rd row. I really like the 80 series but don't want something too old. I plan to rack it out and take it on trips etc. The extra space would allow me to fit my entire family in the truck in addition to all our gear (bikes etc.). I know we have the Odyssey for hauling out litter around but...it's an Odyssey...it's super nice and loaded...but I would rather drive my Runner or a LC. Just wanted to see what y'all thought. I could sell my Runner and p/u a nice LC and not have to put out too much cash. On the fence and probably won't do it anytime soon...but wanted to get opinions. Thanks!
