Tailgating Command Unit: The Ambulance From TCU

The Tailgating Command Unit, aka the Frogmobile is a family affair.  Owned by brothers Tom and Tim Gibbons, and their wives Lorie (Tom's) and Jackie (Tim's), this rig was bought in 2005.

After about a year fixing it up, this rig has become a fixture at TCU home games, as well as some away games (Clemson, Norman, Austin, Phoenix, and Pasadena).  The ambulance was in good working condition when purchased, needing no repairs on the body, engine, or generator.

Inside the Tailgating Command Unit is new purple and white upholstery, with the TCU logo embroidered in the seat backs.  New paint and decals soon followed, as well as custom shirts and coozies bearing the Frogmobile logo.

The TCU is equiped with DirecTV, 36" flat panel and a 1250 watt sound system.  Internal storage is occupied with tents, chairs, coolers and grills.

The TCU has also been used for a get away vehicle for two different weddings.
