Brooks & Dunn create the ultimate tailgating vehicle.

Country music legends Brooks & Dunn want their fans have a good time before the concert, too. With this in mind, the duo partnered with longtime sponsor Toyota to build the ultimate tailgating vehicle.

They started with a black 2010 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Limited pickup truck. Working with customizers B.A.D. Company, Brooks & Dunn packed in everything you'd need to throw the perfect parking lot party. The fun starts when you raise the hand-tooled black saddle leather tonneau cover off the truck bed. The first thing you'll probably notice inside is a 42-inch flat screen TV and sound system by Kicker. Behind that is a mobile kitchen complete with countertops, infared grill, beverage tap and ice chest.

The outside of the truck is accented with silver western-style engraved door handles and a chrome steer skull on the grille and tailgate where the Toyota logo normally resides. It has a three-inch lift and rides on massive 35-inch Mickey Thompson Claw off-road tires wrapped around 20-inch polished aluminum wheels.

The western look continues inside with more hand-tooled black saddle leather trimmed seats with silver accents. The shift knob has been replaced with a unique silver version in the shape of a saddle horn. Backseat passengers can keep the party going on the way home from the show with dual TV screens and upgraded audio from Kicker.

If you want to see the Tundra Midnight Runner Tailgater for yourself, you can catch it sitting outside most venues on Brooks & Dunn's upcoming 2010 Farewell Tour. Showing off the vehicle in person at the 2009 SEMA Show, Ronnie Dunn joked that he and Kix Brooks were going to fight over who gets to drive it to each city. Whoever wins, they'll definitely be riding in style. The only problem is with a tailgater this good, some people might just skip the concert.
