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.

This may be the best and cheapest mod I have ever made. I call it the Eric Throttle because the first place I ever saw one was in his rig. A left over mountain bike brake lever and a $5 set of cables are all you need to make up this throttle that is attached to your stick shift.

There are a lot of things you can do to your rig that don’t cost a lot of money or time. Plain and simple good ideas that are usually cheap or free. And some of them can make a huge difference in how you wheel. And still others are just plain fun.

One of the great things about my diesel is the simplicity of it. But there are some areas that I have improved and others that will get changed in the near future.

All it took was one day in the rain with a traditional remote hanging out the window and I knew there had to be a better way. My solution was to install switches in my console to control my front and rear winches. In the picture, the silver toggles are my winch controls. One for each winch and a master switch so my dog doesn’t operate the winches. The red light indicates when the winch master switch has been flipped on.
Write up coming soon. Eric has been busy getting the site up and running!
