Im taken to an episode of The Andy Griffith Show where he props his shoe up on his desk and asks, "how do get that great big size 10 shoe in this itty bitty mouth!?"
After a year a a few months with an AEV Jeep Unlimited, which I loved, my wife and I on our last trip realized that the trailer just was pushing the limits of the towing capacity of the trailer. The Jeep has a top towing capacity of 3500lbs. The trailer is 3250 dry, and we haven't weight it loaded.
Then someone sent me a PM that this truck would be the perfect solution to the towing issue, plus put me back in a Land Rover. I was smitten, and driven.
Let's just say the stars aligned and the draw of the green oval flame was too great.
So, the AEV has found a new home in the upper UP of Michigan and this 2009 LR3 has come home to roost in Nashville. It is a 2009 LR3, with 30,000 miles. HSE with Heavy Duty package that originally was built for a fly fishing expedition outfit in Colorado. The color is Galway Green with black leather. ARB front bumper with Superwinch 10K, viking synth line, Kaymar rear bumper with tire swing away on one side and jerry can swing away on the other. It is equipted with the curt HD hitch for towing.
The plans are to add 4000's to the front bumper, replace the IPF's with hella compact 4000's. Haven't decided if I am going to remove the roof rack sides and leave the sleek base only.
The truck is Certified and should be a long term family member now, as I am really quite pleased with it.
More pics to come-

ps: And i'll add as long as I am eating crow: We are working on a Range Rover Evoque for my wife. As much as I bad mouthed Land Rover for walking the RR Evoque path, I now understand who they were appealing. My wife is head over heels with this thing. She especially loves the size and the gas mileage. (28MPG)
