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:

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

Re: Snow plow setup for wrangler - what's your experince?
Here in Nova Scotia I notice the odd Jeep plowing in winter, but they're
definitely not the rig of choice. Something with a longer wheel base and
a big load of sand in the back will do the job faster. Incidentally, the
most popular plow truck tire around here is BFG AT.
For some home driveway work, a Jeep would be fine. This is by far the
best type of plow for the job:
