Major Hummer/Overland Upgrades!! iKamper Skycamp 3.0

[@bengb25]

I did come up with a small pack up trick dealing with the iKamper. Once the ladder is collapsed and your ready to close the top. Feed the side strap’s through the ladder to help pull in the extra side tent fabric when you’re trying to close the cover. I’m enjoying your videos and can’t wait to see what you and your families next adventure will be. 👍

[@TsarTrail]

Very cool hack. We will give that a try. Thank you!!!!

[@IronWolfOverland]

Love seeing someone else Overlanding with an Alpha H3. Eager to see how you like the upgrades!

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you!!!

[@Kelly-oy8zc]

Can’t wait to see the final product. Awesome old family photos.

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you

[@planboverland8736]

Love seeing how your family has grown and your camping has changed. Great story. Can’t wait to see your hummer when the work is done.

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you!!

[@VDawg-cr1gb]

Man, the H3 is gonna be awesome. Can’t wait for the reveal

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you!!!!! Phase one reveal next week.

[@VDawg-cr1gb]

@@TsarTrail looking forward to it

[@dougg8280]

The travel through time was nice. Amazing how things have changed. I really like that iKamper. Verry impressive watching the two of you take the tent off. I think I have always used 3-4 people. I kept hoping to see the new hot rod H3. Next week?

[@TsarTrail]

lol. It definitely has more acceleration. Next week we show the engine build. At least phase one.

[@westonfamily5048]

Wow great video. And… a supercharger, that is going to be amazing. Huge upgrade.

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you

[@nicot2436]

Cool video, brother. Always nice to see you doing things…

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

More power is a good thing cain't wait to see the engine mods!!

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you!!!!

[@NA-mk6ju]

Great video

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you

[@raysiebert6758]

Didn't think the Alpha had active fuel management? Interesting to see how the super charger works out. Keep the videos coming.

[@TsarTrail]

Hmmm I’m not sure. Thank you.

[@cafug635]

Nice Hummer!!!!Great upgrades. Have you ever had water leaking inside the truck? How did you get that resolved?

[@TsarTrail]

Thank you!!! We did have a water leak once! Our sun roof drains got clogged. It was an easy fix once we found out about it. Other than that, no issues.

[@bradishee8666]

Getting SERIOUS with that supercharger! Excited to see how it comes out. On a different note- do you have a winch on your H3? I’m thinking about adding one to mine , but not exactly sure how I want to mount it.

[@TsarTrail]

We will be showing the engine work… phase one Friday. We have been struggling with the winch ourselves. But hope to have it figured out soon.

[@bradishee8666]

@@TsarTrail I saw on KZbin where someone used to make a “highmount” plate that would bolt behind the front tow shackles. Wonder if a fabrication shop could make it, and wonder what it would cost. Looks like it would work well. I know Schwartzy make that hidden mount , but I think I woiuld rather have it mounted externally.

[@TsarTrail]

@@bradishee8666 we have a Shwartzy hidden winch mount but not sure if it will work with the charge air cooler and transmission cooler. We are looking at a few options.

[@14rhatch]

Can you provide a list of the parts you used? I also have an 08 Alpha Adventure

[@TsarTrail]

Yes, next weeks video will have the parts listed. Thanks

[@jasontaylor9871]

Curious as to why pick the H3 over something like a Wrangler?

[@TsarTrail]

Initially it was the quiet h3 ride and 5000lb towing capacity. The h3 vs wrangler has some trade offs on both sides. I’m glad we have something a little different.

[@kennerdevine628]

what roof bars do you have on your h3 to support the weight

[@TsarTrail]

We are using the Frontrunner load bars designed for the H3.

[@amrel-ghawi4304]

6l80 in the works? You keep talking about 3rd gear and torque being at 4K rpm this is the most reasonable upgrade, esp to work with a supercharger! Gd luck

[@TsarTrail]

We are working on a transmission solution. A few things to figure out.
