Wrangler JL Snow Plow?

[omg]

You have potential for a lot of wood.

If you have money, you could rip out the entire asphalt and install a heated, snow melting driveway.

It’s not cheap but how much would you pay to NOT have to plow thru your driveway when it snows?

sounds great, def not cheap. i will stick to old fashioned way of doing it self or hire a service for for the days i dont have time.

I have 100 yards of gravel drive and a wide parking area. I have a snow blower but it sucks up stones or branches and breaks shear pins. Don't put stronger shear pins in or the brass drive gear will strip. Ask me how I know.......

I have my old TJ and am wanting to put a plow on it. Think I will avoid this with the JL.

I’ve used a snowblower and a snow plow. There’s a time to blow and a time to plow and it really just depends on what everything else looks like. Don’t blow if you don’t have to.

Last time it snowed, I let my girlfriend do all the blowing. It was entertaining to say the least.

When you’re about to plow, map out exactly where the best spot is to put your white fluff? It’s good to know how slippery and wet the conditions are.

I figured I'd follow up on this thread, since I did decide to go with a light duty plow for my snow clearing needs. I have it mounted on a Sierra 1500, but there is a mount available for JL & JT.

I've cleared two snowfalls with it so far. One was a light and fluffy 5 inches, and another was a very heavy and wet 2-3"

So far, so good. It's easy to use, I can clear my driveway quickly, while I sit inside my warm truck. I do finish off a few areas around the house and garage with a gas snowblower.

I'm no YouTube guru, but I took a stab at doing a vlog / initial impression video. It might be helpful for anybody considering a light duty plow for home use.

I have a Snowsport 180 for my Sahara. Works with the front and rear receiver. Great for the driveway.

Do you still have the snowsport plow thinking of buying one just not sure how good it will be for my dirt driveway in NH

Hello all,

Sorry if this is not the right section for this I wasn't sure.

I am looking to get a snow plow for my JL Unlimited for the coming winter. I was wondering if anyone knew of a compatible model?

I have seen the Meyer HomePlow which requires a front receiving hitch but did not see any for the JL. I am also hoping to do the install myself.

Thanks!

I just had an offer accepted on a property with a 290ft driveway, and I imagined that would take an unreasonably long time to clear with a walk behind snowblower. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Honestly, I'm not really sure what my best option is right now. I'm thinking maybe a 20 year old pickup with a plow, or a small tractor with a snow blower attachment.

However, maybe a 30" walk behind unit would not be too bad.

I live in Salt Lake City and we get a ton of snow. I have found an ATV with a plow is pretty fun to ride around on and handles the snow well. I do my drive, the sidewalks and my neighbors drive…

I am sure you could do it with a Jeep…but it’s fun in an ATV.

Still have it. Not sure how it will do on a dirt driveway. The bottom of the blade is rubber and the way the blade floats it may work. There are a number of reviews where they used it on dirt and gravel driveways with no issues

I have had the snow sport with winch lift for three seasons now. The first year I didn't have the lift, but my layout requires me to drive forward where I don't want to plow so I got the lift. It does a great job and doesn't tear up my grass that bad once the frost sets in. The lift also provides some downforce to help scrape. The rubber edge will ride over packed snow,so it is best to clear the driveway before it is driven on.

not looking forward to plowing my 260+ ft drive way this winter.

EH, quit yer bitchin'. My driveway is a half mile long. And if it ever snows in Texas, I'm going to have a hell of a time. Or I could wait that half day until it melts.

I went with the Fisher HS 7.2 onto my 2019 JL, just a few months after I purchased in 2019.
I normally only deal with my own challenging NH driveway and it has made the effort so much easier to deal.
Being a 2 door, the short wheel base makes maneuvering an advantage.

If I am out and about with the plow attached and I see someone who appears to need help I will often offer, no charge. My offer is usually turned down.

My wife and I joked about buying one for my jeep many times.
You could make serious extra income if you did. We live on a mountain and we get dumped on, making it impossible to shovel, and we have to hire a guy to come out and plow the driveway, and they charge like 100 to 200, last time it took a week to get a guy put there to plow, he had too many people on his list.. making thousands a day!
But I wonder, what happens when it's too slick and your jeep just rotates tires when you're trying to push snow?
I've seen plow trucks stuck on icy roads before.
