Sacky -
Looks like Santa was pretty good to you! Awesome!
Very cool you've got those thoughts. FWIW, my lottery fantasy includes taking an armored truck to the chop shop and converting it into a tailgate/road trip rig. It would be a tweener between an RV and a Hummer. It's gotta be dual use as a tailgate vehicle and something with some offroad clearance that would allow for an escape into the Canyonlands Maze and down any forrest service roads that you could take a 4wd pickup truck.Originally Posted by sackman
The list of features would include side panels that open up with a flatscreen and bumping sound system, a tap or two, a charcoal grill set-up, a gas top range and sink, a genetator, a fridge, storage for all the gear, a satellite box, a pop top, and a hydrolic back door on a bottom side hinge that serves as a ramp into the vehicle, or a tailgate platform sturdy enough to stand/sit upon. Inside would be a mancave with a couch/bed that is comfy for 2 or 3 on a rainy day.
The paint theme must be multi-layer glossy black like on a Lexus, and trimmed with gold. The Ralphie logo is incorporated, leaving no doubt as to fan allegiance.
It could be done for under $150K, that would work, and done well for $200 large.
The base vehicle would be along these lines.
Colorado football is not a matter of life and death; it's more important than that.
you'll need a sat dish to go with the trailer
Mobile satellite systems are evolving for the better. The dish that looks like the thing on the top of the house is morphing into something smaller. Check out this kit.
I think if one has the tools, skill, & time needed to put a trailer like that together,(similar to the one in the picture), could be found on Craig's list fairly cheap and be fabricated for around 3k. less TV's, BBQ grill, paint job, and a Sat dish. Did I miss anything?
The SWAT truck (skip work and tailgate) is in our lot, and is pretty much as you've described.Very cool you've got those thoughts.

I looked for some pictures and came up short. I'd like to see it and talk to those guys next season.
In my searches, I ran across this tailgate related forum in which I am about to get lost. Pretty good thread on what is out there.
Sometimes people and their passion for football is just inspiring.
Why do it yourself? Just buy an Earth Roamer. Built in CO!Very cool you've got those thoughts.
