The new pup, Skye, out on her first overland adventure exploring Northern Ontario.

Some things to go ... :) Sorry, too funny.

Bought this for the back seat due to wet dog - cheap and works great - Front seats faux leather seem to clean up nicely with just a damp cloth.

Yeah, a dead giveaway :)

This area I'm quite familiar with but I am actually a research writer for the Backroad Mapbooks so I discover a lot of cool places across Canada this way!

Fall Colours, Algonquin Park.

Didn't pull fuse 26, just left the drivers door open. After the P38, the LR3 was the nicest vehicle to drive on the highway I've owned. We did a full circle tour of Lake Superior and did a couple of good ten plus hours trips pulling our teardrop trailer.

I bought the LR3 from my LR master tech friend and he had gone over it, new control arms, EAS compressor, coolant tank, wiring before I bought it. Yeah, as I had access to parts to swap in/out, we tried both centre and front valve block, even swapped in Arnott airbags and I paid to have an air...

I put 345,000 of the 440,000 km on my first D1. Only towed once when the starter went. Could have bump started it as it was still a 5 speed at the time, later converted to auto, but was busy so had it shipped to the shop and picked it up next day. Never had to do head gaskets either. Sold it to...

Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada on a sweet -14C day hike.

What part of the country (province) is the LR3 you are looking at?

Sharing trails behind my house with this guy. Doesn’t he realize he should be hibernating by now? The dog and I saw him a week or so back. Looks to be around two years old.
