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.

You just may get a chuckle out of the fact that there is a Fridge in the back of my wagon. But I can guarantee that all it would take is one wheeling trip on a hot day and you will want to know where you can get one. That’s exactly what happened with two of my fellow wheelers.

You might think this a bit of an extravagance but when you drive a wagon you have to find a way to keep the back of the rig off of the trees and other carnage inducing obstacles. I just use a small 6000 lb winch as its primary use is side pulls not recovery.

To gear or not to gear. For most of us this is a desire to lower the final drive ratio in our rigs so that we can crawl on the rocks. But you need to remember there is a price to be paid on the top end if you change gears to improve the lower end. Gears are only a piece of the puzzle and there are other options.

While the middle of a wagon is at pretty good height and the front end is really good with the location of the front axle. The rear end is an entirely different story. That long overhang is going to bang and smash it’s way over obstacles no matter what you do.
