Epic overloading Adventure in the Los Padres National Forest: Perfect weather & stunning Views

Carrizo Plains Ntl Monument. Just to the north. Great country down there, we go down from south Santa Cruz county every year in spring to explore/camp. Quatal Canyon/Frazier Park area.

[@wjoverland5109]

I heard about the flowers in spring over there! Ya we will have to check that out!

[@scottymac5174]

@@wjoverland5109 Not just the flowers. So many dirt roads/trails. Its season Friendly. You do not want to go there in late July. It's slippery, vehicle eating clay when it is wet. Hell on earth when its dry.

[@scottymac5174]

The flowers are a bonus. Not every year. The Superbloom. Carrizo is 60 miles long. The San Andreas Fault runs right up through the middle of it. Two primative, 1st come, first serve campgrounds. The rest is dispersed, self contained. Dirt roads going everywhere. Stay on them. The plain is leased to cattle in large stretches. Thousands of acres of solar panels to the north.

[@scottymac5174]

just going there to look at the fault.

Great content man. Frazier has the most beautiful back country.. I may be bias because I have had the privilege of living here for my entire life. It nice to see folks enjoying our little secret up here. West Frazier has awsome views also.

[@wjoverland5109]

Ya man it’s crazy how nice it can be, when I was younger I used to live up in Frazier park but all these years later I’m still finding great places like this! 👍😎

[@mikeparker5935]

@ did you go to school up here.

[@wjoverland5109]

I did but it was in the 70s lol. Way back…

[@mikeparker5935]

[@wjoverland5109]

Ya we ended up going to the top by a campground, as I said we were in the wrong canyon so we had to head back down.. but for sure ! Always looking for new stuff! Thanks!

[@davesantimaw5413]

You guys are hen-pecked!

[@jeanaaimar9133]

First. What a wonderful journey, what a beautiful country. What type of spare wheel holder do you use on your wj? Thank you for embarking us with you it's really superb. From France 🇫🇷

[@wjoverland5109]

Thank you! The company is called Dissent off road . They make a lot of stuff for Toyotas but I called and they said it should work for the WJ kinda spendy though!

[@wjoverland5109]

Hmm …there was no gate closed and it was later than that. Both gates in were open.

[@matthew7972]

How does your guys WJs drive in the high way? I have a 6.5” rock link pro kit from IRO, 1-ton IRO steering kit and it wanders a lot on the highway. Any similar circumstances you guys experienced?

[@wjoverland5109]

I just have iron rock short arm front and back with a 4 inch lift with 33s and she’s pretty good on the highway, i I’ve also got the thick Addco rear sway bar That helps but I’m just about to go long travel in the front should be here tomorrow.

[@matthew7972]

@ yea I have long travel front and rear. Also have the upgraded head duty addco rear sway bar. Maybe some bushing I need to replace I guess

[@wjoverland5109]

Ya are they nicer joints or the rubber style?

[@matthew7972]

@ I’ll replace the upper front axle bushing that I bought from IRO that I’ll try out. They have the upgraded flex joint bushing as well but I don’t think it’s needed since i actually wanna drive this on the road for trips.

[@wjoverland5109]

Ya the better bushings are much nicer but if you’re not off roading much than ya probably don’t need. Anyway there is a bit of sway but honestly it’s really not bad! Good luck man!

[@epenaloza52]

This is just car camping. We need directions! I just finished my little camping trailer and I'm looking for a place to take it for its first trip

[@wjoverland5109]

Haha! True! But WJ car camping just doesn’t have the same ring.

[@wjoverland5109]

Do you have ONX? The ONX map in The beginning has a map Off of the 33 highway

[@wjoverland5109]

You can look it up by the trail 9N27

[@Jo_and_HisJK]
