Odd the small drawbacks.

Shifter….Really? This grand classic vehicle should have as old school a shifter as the 1960’s will afford. The BMW shifter looks like it ought never to step outside a Supra.

Sounds like the A/C needs tweaking to be as quiet as 2024 will allow. Maybe we’re not as advanced in some areas as we think (generally).

Roof rack. Just seems like it ought to be standard.

Ladder….ought to be….

Love, love the split rear doors and DO NOT understand why more SUV looking cars don’t have them. Once hydraulic lifter begin to fade those lifted doors do fall….usually when you’re loading groceries. And yes, I’d be driving this to TJoe’s!

The BMW shifter is indeed a terrible match for the Grenadier aesthetically. The shifter from the Supra is actually a much better match, more rectangular and a great complement to the transfer case knob. The Supra shifter is readily available from Toyota dealers and the install is simple.

The shifter is actually designed by ZF to go along with the transmission... It became popular as the "BMW" shifter as BMW uses a similar design, again, because it's the same transmission. The Supra uses a different knob altogether as @TCMColorado stated. Plenty of videos and walkthroughs on how to swap to the Supra knob online and on the forum
