Re: Snow plow setup for wrangler - what's your experince?
I have seen many Wranglers with plows in the Cleveland, Ohio area, but I
have no personal experience with them.
Meyer makes plows specifically for the Wrangler here:
http://tinyurl.com/2k6vs
Western makes snowplows specifically for the Wrangler here:
http://www.westernplows.com/lsx.asp
By the way, the current Wrangler with the round headlights is the TJ. The
older Wrangler with the square headlights is the YJ. I would recommend the
6-cyl engine.
Good Luck,
Tom
