New Tacoma owner in Southern California

Well, I'm a vet, studying business administration, 23. Bought my Tacoma in Georgia when my 'mechanic' broke my car (long story) and I had to get a vehicle to drive myself and my stuff home to California after finishing my time in service. drove the sucker home and started school that next fall after some traveling. Pretty quickly I figured out I hated civilians, under the age of 25 typically but there are exceptions, and knew I needed to do something to keep my sanity. Shooting guns almost isn't an option in this god forsaken state so I took to camping and just started heading out of cell signal for peace and quiet. I've been sleeping in my single person tent with my dog (GSD) but I'm looking to upgrade my camping game with a RTT setup. Eventually get some new big boy tires once i burn through more of the tread on my current wheels (just looking for more ground clearance and traction, I'm more focused on camping than overlanding but we'll see what happens). Basically I'm trying to turn my truck into a self contained camping vessel of freedom so I can get out of my class after having some liberal professor try shoving down my throat the idea that burning the American flag in a protest is 'OK because that's what you do when a flag touches the ground anyways' (not gonna dive into that one) and I can just get in my truck and drive straight to the desert with my dog.

Anyway. That's the plan.
