Apparently cornhole, ladder golf and even beer pong have gotten too mundane for Philly fans. Just duct tape 10 beer cans together as your lance and get a drunk friend to offer up the piggy back ride. You now have tailgate jousting.
I can’t make this stuff up people.

If cornhole, washers or even beer pong has gotten too mundane while tailgating, how about a one-on-one foot race with a buddy? The one suggestion I would make is to do it on a dry surface.The good news is this guy’s team is up 3 games to one and on the verge of winning the [...]

I am posting this video not because the Jimmy Buffett tailgating action is all that impressive but because the intro to the video made me smirk. I’ll admit I have seen better but the first minute was semi-funny. Plus, it never hurts to have another mention of Jimmy Buffett when you are talking about tailgating.
With a slumping economy, gas over $4.50 a gallon and food prices going up as well, how can you still go tailgating without breaking the bank? The folks at Greased Lightning have come up with an off the wall gimmick they are promoting through their special website, We Sponsor Anything. They even put together a [...]
We all could use some extra room to spread out while tailgating. Typically you have to bring multiple folding tables to get the adequate table space you need to serve food or to have a place to eat. Now comes a brilliant tailgating invention that provides two tailgating tables that attach to your tow hitch [...]
I was driving to the mall the other day on I-95 with two of my girlfriends at a speed of 60 mph when suddenly, a middle aged guy seated in a blue Honda Accord begins to tailgate us. He tailgates us for about 4 miles until we finally reach our exit. And then, upon returning home, a few other cars happen to do the same the thing “tailgate”. Meanwhile, I’m alternating between speeds of 60 mph to 70 mph and the whole time, I’m thinking, what do these people want, for me to go 100mph? This is a crisis because let’s say that I’m driving down the highway at a speed of 60mph with my son in the backseat, while some irrational person is driving right on my tail, and suddenly, I abruptly press on my brakes because a deer races across the road in front me, then where would that lead us?

For those of you that don’t know last weekend was the big college football rivalry game between the University of Washington and Washington State University known as the Apple Cup. The game was played in Seattle this year and it provided the perfect opportunity to take Das Boot out and introduce him to the WSU tailgate crowd. Honcho was kind enough to let me borrow his Jack Bauer messenger bag for transportation of Das Boot making it easy to move from tailgate to tailgate without fear of dropping and breaking Das Boot.
It took a couple of hours for the tailgate crowd to warm up but by 2:30 p.m. chants of “Das Boot!” could be heard sporadically through out the party. It was Yerzimbeck that pulled seven ice cold Busch Lights out of his cooler and said, “Let’s fill that fucker up!” to get the first Das Boot started. I kicked off the festivities with the first drink but didn’t last long once the brain freeze from the ice cold booze lights set in. C

Breakfast tailgate, a bruised hip, a clown, a fat lip, meeting Ronald McDonald, a great football game (with your team winning), 4 exhausted toddlers, a trip to the Varsity, and complete silence on the baby monitors by 8:15 pm. . .What more could you ask for on a beautiful November Saturday?We had a very full day. When you have multiples routines and/or schedules are essential for sanity in life. Days like today test how adaptable your kids are when they are taken out of their daily comfort zone.

We’re not sure if this is will be old news to some of you, but Toyota released a memo to their dealers regarding problems with Toyota Tundra tailgates in the last week or so. We finally got our hands on it, and you can read the memo for yourself by clicking on the image below.
Click image to see full-size memo. Make sure to hover over full-size image when it opens - your browser may shrink it.
The memo speaks for itself, but we thought the phrase “there is no industry standard or consensus regarding tailgate load capacity” was especially interesting. The way we read that sentence, it sounds like Toyota is saying “we can make this truck any way we want to.” Hardly seems like an appropriate response, especially considering the truck is advertised as being the toughest thing on the road.
Here’s an idea: Make the tailgate strong enough so that the welds don’t split when someone loads an atv in the back.

In response to some questions about our last Tundra Tailgate post, we’ve done some more investigating, and we think we’ve figured out how why you should never drive with your Tundra’s tailgate unsecured.
1. The gas strut assist.
The Tundra’s tailgate is slam-proof because a gas strut (hidden inside the wall of the bed) reduces the effect weight of the tailgate as well as dampens any rapid movement. There is an un-intended consequence here: if the tailgate isn’t secured (i.e. in the closed position OR locked in the down position by the bed-extender or some weight) it may “levitate” at the removal angle.
2. Tailgate removal without tools.
Try this experiment: Lower your Tundra’s tailgate. Now, with it in the down position, “throw” the tailgate up into the air. When you get the force right, you’ll find that it will “hover” at about a 45 degree angle for a second or two. Keep in mind that 45 degrees is the angle
Glenn sent us this note, and we think every Tundra owner should know about this. Thanks Glenn for taking the time to share.

OUCH!!!
I put my tailgate down on my 07 Tundra Crewmax, and forgot about it being down, as I was involved in something that diverted my attention away from the open tailgate. I drove away not realizing it was still down. As I went down the street and over a bump in the road, I heard some banging, so I pulled over only to find my tailgate hanging from the support strap wires, and slapping against the back of the truck! Thankfully, I found a place to pull over immediately, and that I had all the windows, including the window facing the bed down, so I could hear it. Both tail light lenses are now damaged, but luckily, the tailgate itself and the bumper do not seem to be damaged much, except for minor paint damage on the inside of the tailgate. At least not that I can tell at this point.

The Jaunt presents some of the best tailgating recipes from around the web or from good old-fashioned cook books. Each month we will post a new recipe that we probably aren't talented enough to cook up ourselves. This month's recipe is in conjunction with Baltimore, MD being named the top tailgating city in the NFL by a panel of experts. The recipe comes from a pair who have been as much a staple at M & T Bank Stadium as Ray Lewis. Brothers Marc and Gary Scher have held the “Poe Brothers Tailgate” in the M and T Bank Stadium lot since the Baltimore Ravens first preseason game in 1996. The brothers’ love of cooking began as children watching their father create specialty meals. The cooking passion passed down from father to son can be tasted in Marc’s “Rav’in Raven Tailgate Tenderloin”Poe Brothers Rav’in Raven Tailgate TenderloinIngredients1 whole Beef Tenderloin1 cup Ketchup1 cup Maple Syrup1 cup olive oil1 cup Soy Sauce1 cup Worcestershire sauce2 tblspn Broiled S
By Gail Leino NFL Football is the most watched sport. There are millions of people who actively watch this game. If we delve in the history, it is being said that this very much relates to the game known as Harpaston, which was an ancient Greek game. In this game there were no limit of the players. The aim of the game was to move the ball across the goal line by either kicking, throwing or running with it. The most recent form of NFL Football game started from England, which started in 12th Century.The NFL Football Party is the time where you can share the happiness and fun with the people who just cannot afford to have a party or are fighting with hunger. This is going to be a party with a different concept. This will require huge arrangements and is something that would be arranged in your backyard or at your church or at an open place. The major obstacle that you will have to face is that you have to arrange the money to cater such a big party. For this reason you can share your ide
