Glad to know it helped! Hopefully you enjoy your visit!

We had a great time there too. It was one of the few parks open during the pandemic, so we were very happy to be able to go!

Yes, unfortunately that must be purchased separately, and it’s around $400. I ordered mine from: www.quadratec.com

There was no one around, so the drone pilot just launched it like normal…

You’re welcome!! For what it’s worth, I still haven’t had any issues with it overheating since fixing it. 👍🏼

234 was for either a tent or small RV…not a cabin…

I love hearing that! We love that trail too, and have gone multiple times, it’s a great way to get outside of LA and feel like you’re in a completely different area, yet it’s only an hour away. I hear ya about not taking big risks when wheeling solo…it’s not worth breaking something or rolling your rig. The videos never do the trails justice, those hills are steep!!!!

@@4x4campingcorps I watched y'alls Cleghorn Ridge video. I went up there with some people from work. That place got pretty hairy near the end. I had a stock Wrangler X on 31" AT's and the og 16" rims. My manager from work rolled one of our dealerships Tacoma TRD Off Road's onto it's side. lol

Cleghorn has some serious sections! Just a few months ago there was a serious rollover that they called in a helicopter to airlift the driver to a trauma center! The trail systems of Southern California are incredible though with how close to the city they are and with such a wide variety of skill levels. There really is something for everyone. As long as they know their limits and stay safe!

Thank you very much, I’m so glad this helped. Appreciate your comment!

Thank you for this wonderful comment, I am so happy to hear that this helped and really appreciate you both subscribing. This motivates us to post more of these!

That is crazy. What kind of filter did you use?

@@4x4campingcorps k&N direct drop in

Thank you for your comment, and that’s great to hear! I’m glad this video helped you. Though I didn’t have any luck fishing there, I saw other fisherman catching huge largemouths (6+ lbs) and catfish (40+ lbs) right from the shore. They were catching the cats in the main body of water by casting off the beach with bait and leaving their lines in the water until they caught something, and the bass at the mouths of the inlets using mostly lures. There were fish all over the place. Good luck and enjoy your trip.

It’s actually something I’ve witnessed and the “chocolate milk” in the oil pan is not pretty. I have to say though, the placement of the intake on most Jeeps was actually designed with water fording in mind which makes it more difficult for a driver to ingest the amount of water necessary to hydrolock the engine. This is why you see so many videos of jeeps making huge splashes and coming out unscathed. It is always something a responsible driver has to keep in mind though. 👍🏼

Thank you!

Gotta love the AI sometimes… other times, it’s best to just shut it all off. 😣

Haha! It was actually my 11 year old son’s birthday but yes, both my son and daughter love a good off-road adventure.

Glad you like the video, and thank you for the heads up about the full hookup sites. We are planning on another visit this summer, and will plan accordingly!

Yes the food there is really good. They also have live music a lot during the summer which is a nice touch.

Thank you so much! We had an amazing time out there too! The Onboard air system is actually a prototype we developed as I was looking for a system that would simplify the airing up and down process without having to carry miles and miles of hoses. I’m really happy with the way it turned out and I didn’t break the bank doing it either.

37’s…went with the big boys!

It’s lasted over 2 years and is still holding up….eventually I’ll replace it with fresh tape, but so far so good…

Those spots back up to Route 154 and you’ll get a fair bit of road noise when cars drive by. They are in the more remote part of the campground, and have a lot of trees / shade around the sites, but the road is pretty close.

Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated!

Thank you for posting this, I haven’t been able to figure out what those trees were! That upper area had pretty tight turns and narrow roads (compared to the lower areas), must have been tough towing and 18 foot trailer up there.

K&N will clog up faster than OEM paper filters in dusty conditions (due to the oil on it), nice thing is it can be cleaned, re-oiled and reused…you don’t have to buy a new filter each time.

Thank you man, appreciate it!

Thank you!!! We couldn’t figure out what those were!

At the time I made this video I had factory provided 33” muds @ 37psi. The air filter did make a difference, but nothing earth shattering…

Almost all my driving is City; hardly ever highway. Is most of your driving highway?

Hahaha, big splash!!! When you come To LA, let’s hit the trails!

Glad you liked it. We go every year and love that place!

Really?! Interesting, I’ll have to look into that modification. 🤔 Luckily, and I’m probably jinxing it by saying this, but I haven’t had any cooling issues since. 🤫

It’s actually a 2009 but yes, it has the 3.8 liter. The JK platform started out with this engine in 2007 and after Fiat bought the brand they thankfully ditched the power plant they shared with the Dodge Caravan for the 3.6 liter in 2012.

Hahaha, just a little one….

I think quite a few of us have had to do some explaining from time to time! 😁

Yes, when Fiat made the changes to the Wrangler and other Jeep models they did change out certain parts other than just the engines. The basic trouble codes however, have stayed the same for the most part. We haven’t seen any fan issues in the JL yet, but when we do, we’ll be making another video on that one for sure!

@@4x4campingcorps thank for info

Hope you had a good time there, and glad the video helped!

I haven’t had any experience with the RK systems so I can’t compare but I’ve heard good things about their other suspension components.

I Have the RK RRD shocks along with their X Mid arm system and as for the shocks, i don't care for them. The liftt is incredible with the true 4 link in the back with no track bar but the shocks are way too soft for my taste for daily driving. A lot of body roll when you hit a bump or going over a speed bump but off road they do amazing. The rear end just feels too loose. I have a set of falcons on the way and can't wait to see the difference.

Thanks Richard! Good idea on a sanding wheel, just as long as you keep the rpms low to avoid melting the plastic. 👍🏼

Hey Jody, tire sizes on Gladiators are kind of a funny thing. I was running the metric version of a 35” tire before this lift and had zero issues. Unfortunately, those things looked lost in the wheel well after the lift. I now have a true 37” and there has never been a moment I’ve felt like they’re oversized. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, too bad there are no hookups….this park was a lot of fun as-is, but would be even better if it had hook ups.

Hopefully the rear axle was just as easy if not easier!

@@4x4campingcorps super easy. Our kit came with the brake lines so that was the hardest part bleeding the brakes then doing the abs bleed with JScan took about 8 hours total from start to finish by myself lol

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the Evo lift! You are correct; I got the Enforcer Overland kit but as far as ride quality, there was no noticeable difference until I added the Falcon shocks. As a matter of fact, with the OEM Fox shocks, it was almost too soft for me! I’m sure the Element kit will not disappoint. 👍🏼

Hey Joe. Yeah, while driving I didn’t have any signs of a problem. It started while idling at the trailhead and the overflow tank was screaming with boiling fluid. We got a good clip of how it happened in our “Trailhead Trouble” video here: Trailhead Trouble - Jeep JK Radiator Overheating Woes th-cam.com/video/q5VlYHGaaf0/w-d-xo.html

The sun will destroy the synthetic line (which is expensive to replace!). Since I’ve been wrapping mine, I’ve never had an issue…it will save you a bunch of money down the road.

So glad to hear that & thank you for your comment!

Glad you liked it. Thank you for the comment.

Glad you liked it, thank you for the comment.

I read the same thing but I think mine was closer to 3” or 3 1/2”.

@@4x4campingcorps Gotcha! Well since i got the Sport S ill get closer to 4-4 1/2" since the lift kits are developed around Rubi. Did the lift kit sag over time or still keeps the same height?

@@blueskiesflyer Oh, you’ll absolutely get some extra height with the lighter trim! If there was any settling in the lift it wasn’t enough to notice. It’s still a great kit in my opinion.

I’ve been told I look like a Whalberg ever since high school and Matt Damon a few times but never a mix of both! That’s funny!

That's the only reason. I decided to listen to the video to see if he's talking about my problem on my jeep. Lol I'm like Mark making a video about his jeep!

It’s funny how things come full circle like that! We really enjoyed our trip there and want to go back…people were catching 40lb catfish and 5lb bass right off the beach (of course we caught nothing!) When we drove home (south all the way to LA), we were in thick smoke the whole way due to the fires. It was hard to see and smelled terrible…the smoke finally broke when we went over the grapevine and dropped back into LA valley, but was with us the entire way before that. I couldn’t believe how smokey it was; a trip we will never forget!
