Curiosity or friends got you here so just what are we about. The Wagon Way site is two guys sharing and giving back to the wheeling community. We have been there, done that and are willing to tell you about it. We both owned FJ40’s at one time but these days we just happen to enjoy wheeling in wagons, wagons that are also daily drivers. Our wagon of choice is the 60 series Land Cruiser. Reliable, durable, easy to modify and built like a tank.
The site is about rock solid advice on what you can do with and in a wagon. It's a source for information, answers or a link to what you need. Technical know how that can be trusted without question. Inspiration for your own adventures, as you won’t believe the places you can put a wagon.
This is not a forum. While forums are full of good advice, they are also a risk for bad advice. The anonymity allows someone to spew out garbage all day and no one knows who they are and just what they really know. Here it is only real people with real names and years of practical experience. Everything on the site has been done to one or both of our rigs. And even though we both drive 60's you will find they are very different.
No one pays their way to get on here. We make mention of companies and individuals that we have dealt with and received good to great service from. And if we have been shafted by someone we will tell you that too. But probably with kind words so they don’t sue us. We will even give them a shot at redeeming themselves.
What’s in a wagon? Family, friends and my dog (who happens to be both). Wagons have plenty of room for others, they are inclusive, rather than exclusive. And to be honest you don’t even have to drive a wagon to find something of interest here on the site. Be sure to check back often for updates, edits and additional articles.
The Wagon Way is a mindset, a way to wheel and act, a philosophy if you will. But not one that is in your face.
There is a right way, a wrong way and The Wagon Way.

It’s always fun to play with a new toy. But sometimes you learn something you didn’t or really don’t want to learn the hardway.
I managed to borrow a regulator and bottle of Argon for my ready welder as I want to weld aluminum, (thoughts of a lighter camp trailer). Well the one thing they don’t teach at the school of teach yourself is how much brighter the UV rays are when welding aluminum.

After a few months of light looking for 60’s, Ben finally gave the go ahead for full fledge scouting. There were plenty of 60/62’s in the Florida area, some asking way too much for what they had and some were not even worth the look. We needed to find one that was 1) in good running condition 2) as little rust as possible 3) not something to dump loads of money in to bring it up to par.

It happens to all of us. Sometimes it’s not directly our fault but we have to fix them none the less. But don’t panic, even on the trail, as the fix is not that far away.

The stock suspension is a bit on the weak side after 20 odd years (or more) that these rigs have been on the road. But fortunately for us there are a lot of options available. You could just replace the stock springs but I feel there are better options out there.
