Build Thread BoatTox - Winston - There Can Be Only One

[BoatTox]

Intro

• Winston - There Can Be Only One (The I don't want to maintain more than one vehicle build) - Need for DD, Hobby Farm (cattle, chickens, goats), Overlanding/Exploring the US, Revisiting Jeep Trails we have already done with my Brother and a good friend, so (next 18 months probably buying a small RV).
• Work is from home so sometimes days. (9-10) without driving. Don't need more vehicles to maintain
• (This needs more work and explination)

Where is Winston Now???

(I was working on this post for a little while in different forms as he had been at sea for 3-4 weeks)

• He's HERE!!!! In the US as of Thu 2026.02.26 so no drama.
• Pics with Winston So far
  • This is our only trip so far. We enjoyed the dessert, the highlands, and the snow but these are the only pics I could find. Sorry In the first pic I was getting something out of the back, they second I was getting a drink for the doggo, and in the third Ruby wanted a snack I'm hidden there as well...

Plans for this build thread

• This is my master build thread. I plan for each update to be reflected here on this first post. That will allow anyone to comment and ask question without making the build messy for those that want to see the build and progress. Each update will have a reply post in the thread but I will also add it here.

• Before I discovered the Grenadier I was looking to find a classic LR 110 that was already restored or partially restored and finish a build...so...

Talked with Unavi American technical representative and Lead sales rep for the US. They are working on adapting their rearview mirror to work with the ADAS (may need a simple fix or new design). Can get the rear view mirror installed later. Will seamlessly integrate if it comes out.
