When you think of concert tailgating, what musical artists do you think of? For me, Jimmy Buffett and Kenny Chesney immediately leap to mind as the gold standard artists who encourage pre-concert tailgating. But what about Brooks & Dunn? Tailgating? Really?

Apparently the folks at Toyota think that country music fans are big tailgaters and have come out with The Midnight Rider Tundra Tailgater by Brooks & Dunn. The truck is a tribute to the legendary country music duo’s career that has spanned over 20 years.

No matter what you opinion on the inspiration, when parked the truck converts into a killer tailgating machine. By sliding out the tailgate which exposes a Grill N Chill cooking area, the pull-out Grill N Chill features a cooking space with counter tops, infrared barbecue, beverage tap and ice chest. An electronically operated tonneau cover lifts to reveal a bed-installed 42-inch flat screen TV and sound system by Kicker. The sound system features a dual subwoofer system and a separate amp, four two-way speakers with tweeters and deparate crossovers and dual two-channel amps with separate equalizers and speaker control units. (They fail to mention if the sound system can only play Brooks & Dunn music.) There are more details on the truck including the types of wheels, custom door handles, leather seats, etc. Instead of listing them all here, you can check out Toyota’s Pressroom web page and check them out for yourself if interested.

Conveniently Toyota fails to mention a price for this fully customized Midnight Rider Tundra Tailgater which leads me to assume that it will be quite pricey. Then again, when it comes to price, if you have to ask you probably can’t afford it.

Video: Jimmy Buffett Tailgate Hula Hoop

This video of a Jimmy Buffett tailgate party has almost everything you would normally see Parrotheads doing. There is a cornhole game going on the side, mobile tiki bars set up and a woman doing a hula hoop. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. There is also a woman humping an inflatable shark in the background.

Mid-Week Eye Candy Wrapper #57: Kim Kardashian Edition

July 15, 2009 in Babes, Mailbag

With all apologies to those of you looking for the Weekend Wrap-up, I had to skip it this week. I’ll spare you the details as to why but I will assure you that this week’s eye-candy wrapper will be the Big Ass Wrapper edition. And speaking of Big Asses, who better to lead things off than Kim Kardashian captured on film while grilling. I doubt she was really tending the grill and just posing next to it but you have to respect that. This photo combines my two favorite things; beautiful women and outdoor cooking. Links following the shot of Kim Kardashian.
