You can get a basic (which is loaded compared to an e350) 4x4 Sprinter for $46k. Dealers have orders already placed which can be easily modified, and you can have your build in around 4 to 6 months time. There are also quite a few available now for that price. There are a lot of ready made solutions for the Sprinters from companies like RBComponents or you can DIY, which is also pretty simple.
While the Sprinters are not going to go in the same places that the e350's do, the e350 is also limited on where it can go based on its size - these aren't jeeps. If you just plan on driving around the mountains and a little snow I think you'd be happy with either but the Sprinters are easier to come by, cost about the same, and are easier to sell / people can get a loan for the full amount.
Just my thoughts - not trying to disagree with anyone. Draw your own conclusions =)
