Re: Snow plow setup for wrangler - what's your experince?
I see a lot of them set up with plows. Some even on landscaping
vehicles so they are seeing commercial duty. The local mall has one for
doing the walk ways too.
I see the same places with Jeeps a plows year after year so I would
figure they work all right.
I am thinking on doing that depending on how long my next driveway is...

Open the garage door, back in, have a cold, then plow your way out.
