    I have a 2002 crew cab xe and I am building this truck to be a full time camper/touring truck with plans to go world wide touring. I’m looking for the best bang for my buck which is not much yet. Needs…heat,air storage for clothes,wet bath,bed and small cooking area and work station. Would like a solid shell as opposed to pop up. I have started on the rebuild of the five hundred dollar truck saving the suspension and brakes last. Also looking for solar power for off grid use when detaching from truck. A perimeter alarm and lights would also be needed for bigfoot attacks or alien encounter.please get back to me
