I'm looking to build or buy an expedition rig for 15k (15% of total budget for overland trip around the world). Building a simple rig and using the majority of the budget for other travel expenses. Now that leaves me with a quest to find a suitable rig that will successfully house my girlfriend and myself along the way and get us from point A to point B. My current thought is a Toyota pick up (1985-1999) with manual everything and a 22RE engine and extended bed. My biggest dilemma seems to be trying to find a pop up camper that can be outfitted properly and can be easily set up nightly. I've started leaning toward having a fiberglass camper shell manufactured to whatever car we decide on with a possible vanagon style flip top that the cab over could be used as sleeping quarter and gear stored in the bed. Looking for recommendations, advice, and guidance. Thank you
