Who is Y2KLR?

My name is Christopher and I have been an Automotive Manufacturing Engineer for twenty plus years specializing in Japanese OEM production in North America. Working with Toyota and Honda OEMs, I have developed a passion for Quality and likeness for certain makes and models particularly the late 1990s - early 2000s Lexus lineup. Follow along with me as I re-baseline my 2006 Lexus GX470 detailing projects that promote longevity and reliability.

My write ups and videos are geared towards those who value Quality, Simplicity, Luxury in a vehicle. All of my projects are documented with the end goal promoting Quality and longevity preventive maintenance.

Thanks for stopping by and following along on my simplistic re-baselines. I have created learning aids for myself and you documenting progress. Documenting maintenance performed is just as important as the actual service performed itself.
