Anyone Try The Snowsport Plow?
Curious about the Snowsport plow. I live near Louisville, KY and we just got
pounded with snow. Happens at least once a year or so. Anybody ever tried this plow? Any advice on plows? I have a 97 TJ automatic 6 cylinder with a 4 inch lift running 33x12.5's. Thanks in advance! Brian Tanksley |

First, the weight of the blade, approx 600-700 lbs depending, will make the truck handle squirrelly and the shorter the wheel base the worse it is. Add in the 4 in lift and it makes is all the worse. The 12.5 tires aren't the best either. Tall and skinny works best on a plow truck. If you want this just to do your own drive, buy a really good thrower. It would be alot less than the cost of a blade anyway. Denny |

Re: Anyone Try The Snowsport Plow?
The plow I was looking at weighs less than 200 lbs. Check it out at
http://www.missgrizz.com/products/snow_sportinstall.php . Looks pretty cool. It may not even work with a lifted vehicle. Let me know what you think and thanks for the advice.

There is no angle to either side. You can't backdrag snow away from a door, you can only push straight ahead. While it may be better that shoveling, it's not much. Denny |
