Ep 11. Stalled Comanche

The season 17 episode 11 of Truck U, titled "Stalled Comanche," follows hosts Matt Steele and Bruno Massel as they tackle a common issue among off-road enthusiasts: a stuck vehicle. The episode begins with the hosts receiving a call from a viewer asking for their help in rescuing a stalled Jeep Comanche that has been stranded in a muddy creek bed for weeks.

Matt and Bruno head out to the site of the stranded Comanche to assess the situation. They find that the vehicle is completely stuck in the muddy water and the owner has been unable to remove it on his own. The hosts decide that the best solution is to use a winch to pull the Comanche out of the creek bed.

To do this, they first need to install a winch mount on the front of the vehicle. They walk viewers through the process of removing the Comanche's front bumper and installing the winch mount. Once the mount is in place, they attach the winch cable and begin the process of pulling the vehicle out of the water.

However, they quickly discover that the winch on the Comanche is not strong enough to pull the vehicle out of the mud. The hosts decide to use a more powerful winch from their own truck to complete the job. They explain to viewers the importance of having the right winch for the job and demonstrate the differences between various winch sizes and capabilities.

With the more powerful winch in place, the hosts are able to successfully pull the Comanche out of the creek bed. They then show viewers how to properly wash and clean the vehicle after being submerged in muddy water for so long.

After cleaning the Comanche, the hosts turn their attention to upgrading its off-road capabilities. They start by adding a new set of wheels and tires, which will provide better traction and more ground clearance. They also install a new suspension system to further improve the vehicle's ability to handle rough terrain.

Throughout the episode, Matt and Bruno provide viewers with helpful tips and advice for off-road enthusiasts. They demonstrate the importance of having the right equipment and knowledge when going off-road, and stress the importance of safety and responsible driving.

Overall, "Stalled Comanche" is an informative and engaging episode of Truck U that is sure to be appreciated by off-road enthusiasts and anyone interested in vehicle maintenance and repair.
