Ok - so I finally pulled the trigger and hit the target. I had to change the budget slightly but that's ok. This SMB was so clean I couldn't even discount it for wear. Better than regular maintenance, less than normal wear. Stand up owner that even had it checked out prior to agreeing to sell it to me by the Ford dealer.
1998 SMB EB50 loaded. 110k miles very well taken care of. I'll take pictures and share with everyone later tonight or tomorrow.
In fact, here is the link to the vehicle - in person I would say it was even better

Already planning our first trip out - as well as the vacation in June to Glacier.
Thanks for all the support. Now I need a set of Bushwackers!
