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.

As many people have found out, once the seal between the transmission and transfer case fails all the oil eventually pushes it’s way into the tranny, starving the t-case of oil. And this leads to excessive wear at the minimum and catastrophic failure at the worst. Fortunately there is an easy fix if you are not in a position to replace the main seal.

These are things that you may find helpful and just might not have thought of prior to making a huge mess.
Bend a little foil trough for draining the radiator into a bucket. Works great and easy to collect the water compared to letting it run off the frame!

I added a large amount of wiring and switches to my console and to make access better than the 5 screws that normally hold it down I went ahead and put a hinge on it. This allows me to just tip it up. Once it is up I have access the wiring for my air locker switches, aux light controls, 12v DC outlets, an auxiliary fuse block, interior 
winch controls and the negative buss that serves as the ground for all that electrical.

There were two types of axles available on the 60 series, semi float here in the US and Canada and full floats in Australia and other parts of the world. While they do the same thing, mechanically they are very different.

While there are newer ways to communicate the old standby, a CB, still has its place. Its a great way to talk on the trail and keep everyone together.
I found a perfect place for the small Cobra CB I bought just below the stock radio. It fits in a void that is sometimes filled with a factory tape deck. At least this place is available in a 60, not so in a 62.
