How much plowing do you plan to do? If its only your driveway and your neighbor's driveway, then you should be okay. Anything more than that and I suggest using a truck with a frame.

I'm not sure, depends on how well a Cherokee can plow, I just checked out a few youtube videos of Cherokees plowing and they seem to hold their own with a 6.5 blade. I know I'd have to get a higher rate coil spring, brace the steering box, and a 136 amp alternator. If the Jeep can plow decent, then I'd like to pick up a few neighborhood driveways, but I figure 10 max.

The city around here uses TJ's and Xj's to plow a little, but mostly do the big sideways. They look to have eather carbon fiber or aluminum blades. Thats what ive heard from a few buddys that work for the city. That would prob be your best bet.

Just using a front end loader with an 16ft blade in an industrial park last year. As well as a skid steer with an 8ft blade. Never in a gas vehicle though.

I used to with a 94 sport, fiberglass plow. The light weight of the lade helped alot. It would plow fine, but had some trouble once you pile the snow into one snowbank, it cant push a ton of snow at once. Other than that it was awesome

Okay, so what I've gathered so far is that if you're not trying to plow a commercial development then you'll be okay. I don't see why I couldn't plow my parents driveway, and some others for some pocket money. The excavating business gets slow in the winter, I need to do something.

I'd like to put a plow on mine, I just don't know anything about it and don't have investment capital. Driveways and small parking lots (convenience stores instead of supermarkets) would be ideal I think

I have plowed with my 2000 xj for 4 years. It has done 30 plus driveways per season. I have had 2 western plows on it. 7'2" and now a 6'6" because its our back up.

you wanna plow? You can get a 87-93 dodge ram charger with an auto v8 for $1000. and the plow kits for them bolt strait on. With that set up you could do alot more than little driveways and mini marts. you could make three times that per season.
