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.

Finally was able to give Lilly a good scrub. Was able to use the apartment’s wash rack, which turned out to be better than I thought. Was nice not having to work around body armor and actually getting a good clean on the roof without a rack up there. Next is to hit it with a clay bar and some cleaning compound. Also work on the rust that are in places and see what dents will pop out. Nice to see her cleaned up. Read more...

Today continued the go through process, identifying parts and components that will be replacing. Still need to wash it really well. Given the fact that Lilly is still not registered yet due to waiting on duplicate title, can not get to a car wash facility and my apartment complex is against washing of vehicles in your spaces. So until I wash it, I can not start cleaning and buffing the exterior. Read more...

It has been some time since the Cruiser has been on the trails, let alone the pavement. Since moving to Florida, she has, for the most part, sat in the driveway and most recently in the garage. Everyone has their reasons why they let something sit for a time, but now it’s time for me to put her back into service. Read more...

Life was good rolling down the highway right up until I noticed that there was little heat coming out of the vents and the fan was switched on. But fortunately there is enough heat just leaking out once the rig is warm that I don’t need much more. Read more...
