To be honest, I never really noticed that curve (dent?). I thought that was the factory profile. The next two weeks will be a good test.

Finally got around to updating the Transmission Control Module Calibration for my 2016 LC200. Shifting is smooth and much improved.
Did you do it yourself?
Nah… I know a service advisor at Toyota dealership and it took it there. Total process about an hour from drop off to back in the seat driving home. No more hard shifts from 1st to 2nd. Just smooth like it’s supposed to be.
A Vantrue E1. Have the Garmin Mini in my Tundra. Both work fine.
While you’re at it I would see if they can apply the precut expel PPF on the interior piano black around the infotainment screen and gear shifter. I think I paid a couple hundred bucks for mine but it’s well worth it if tiny scratches tend to get to you.
Unfortunately, I had to get the timing cover and cam towers repaired. Did the timing chain and tensioners as well while they were in there. Not a fun way to spend money but at 175K miles and 15 years of ownership I think I was probably overdue for this. It's nice not finding small drops of oil on the garage floor each week now. 
Here's to another 100K miles hopefully.

I think so, but haven’t measured. I will try to though. Away this weekend. It’s still lopsided though.

I finally removed the stock roof rack rails, and installed a set of LFD Off Road's Ruggedized Crossbar Bundle. Easy Peasy! It took this old fart about an hour total. And a fair bit of that time was my insistence on exactly equal spacing.I then modified two sets of Malone SeaWing Kayak Carriers so that they would bolt directly to the LFD crossbars instead of using the supplied traditional clamps. A much more secure system than the previous setup.
Thanks @LFDOffRoad !

That is sweet! Looking to do the same after this hard CO trip from Houston. Lots of weird behavior but no perm issues. Can you tell me the original PID name for the trans case temp? And where does your altitude and GPS speed come from?
The app I'm using OBDLink has similar mapping as Fusion. The original PID name is Transfer Oil Temperature. And the GPS on my app is under GPS and altitude is under GPS but I had to do a search for it to show up.

Unfortunately it appears it’s not the actual transfer oil temp, as the sensor is located in the shift actuator external to the transfer case.
Also it doesn’t seem to be available in the earlier build 200s.. 16+ only, from the digging I did.

Added some Trail Tailor recovery points. Had some universal ones laying around, fit ok but didn't like the design or look. The TT ones are top notch! Might paint the other ones red and use in the back, tbd
Went with 55mm10.9 bolts.

Added Kenda Klever R/T's- 275/70/18 and a 1in OEM Spacer
These tires are beefy for 275's, little to no rub, quiet, and give it a more aggressive stance.

I love dates! Let me know if you need me to go test them out for science!
Beautiful! I have a few that I grew from seed her in FL. They are doing well but I’ll ask anyway. Any tips/tricks to accelerate growth? They are currently about 6’ tall.
