Eric,

The plow on my xj is a 6.5' fisher. I bought it used to serve as a backup in case my F250 with 8' fisher ever was broke down and the XJ may get me out of a jam. Tried it a couple of times this winter and there is no comparison to the 3\4 ton, but what would you expect. Not really sure what is out there to recommend.

Who makes plows for TJ's? I have a K-5 that I'm putting a 7 1/2 on. Where I live that is too wide for a lot of the driveways, including mine. I really like the TJs and I think I will only get a season or two out of the Blazer, I have no intentions of a full resto on that truck.

I have a Meyers 6.5'. The TJ has mopar air shocks up front and they hold the weight just fine. 31x10.5 bfg tires. I do have some pics but I haven't figured out how to post pics

well it's still thursday where i'm at and the new western suburbanite plow has been mounted to my 98 Jeep Wrangler and is all ready for snow!!! lets git-r-done!!! snapped a few quick pics with my phone...from the front shot the blade looks so much wider than the jeep, but it really isn't. it's 7'4" wide. i think it sticks out about 6 inches on each side. I had to drive home from the shop which is the next town with the plow mounted on the interstate. yup it blocks plenty of airflow cuz the jeep was getting hotter than normal.....then the clutch fan kicked in and cooled it back off and the cycle continued....nothing to worry about though.

10-17-2005, 09:58 AM

Yes, I was the one looking for advice. I got it in Worcester and they were quoting $3400 installed. I paid a few bucks less because of a friend of a friend. This is my first plow, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I like the setup - quick and easy. The frame and setup is the same that they put on their 8 foot plows. The only difference is the poly blade.

I am in Buffalo, NY.. work for a guy with the big trucks.. all western plows. I have been debating getting one for my Sport Trac.. a Suburbanite that is.

Let me know and thanks in advance../

Happy Turkey Day too.

Suburbanite/Homesteader does well from all the research I did prior to purchasing. I actually spoke to quite a number of individuals that have them and have used them for at least 1 season. They all claimed they have had no problems and they do a good job making money with them. Mine was $2650 out the door including tax.

damn I should have came to indy as I paid $3381 out the door installed for mine!! but I guess that was on a 12 month no payment no interest thing and 7% off had I paid cash.....still not your good deal though. haven't got a chance to use it yet though!! 1inch last night but melted right away!!

Did you have to do any modifactions to your front suspension?? I have thinking about adding a leaf in the back and twisting the torsion up front to get some lift.. Also adding in new shocks all around.

Would you suggest Timbrens in the front as well, while everything is ripped apart?

Any pictures yet? We have been getting this lovely "clipper" in the Buffalo NY area?

i'm assuming you don't have a jeep!! what do you have? s10? this plow is so light i didn't do anything to the front of my jeep. well I already had a 2.5" rancho lift but either way it only sags about 1-1.5" when the plow is up.

I transition my Jeep in the fall to a plow vehicle. I put on 7" fender flares take off the winch and put on the uni-mount plow bracket. I order to accommedate my 4" lift and my tires I welded a 7"x 1/2" plate with the mount hole to the blade to drop the A frame down and extended the links accordingly to make that work. Works great however it takes me about 5 hrs to convert in the fall and again in spring. Will post pictures tomorrow after I finish

Here is my 93 w/o the plow on it. The bumper is custom redneck series made by previous owner who liked to weld stuff and wasn’t smart enough to go on line and look up a hitch for the plow. So he made this monstrosity. And this looks a lot better then what it was before, thanks to me. The vertical pieces is where the plow mounts to. The Jeep + plow (snowbear) was $2500 i think it was a good deal.

i took a picture when i got back from plowing last night. 2nd time using it since the plow was installed but i got more use than the 1st time. pretty happy with it. funny how the type of drive i was doing was the deciding factor on 4hi or 4lo. I pushed some piles that were taller than the plow and snow was comming over the top....it ended up pretty caked up with snow. this was about 7:am just as the sun was comming up!!.

84 CJ7 with SnowWay plow

tvpierce

12-15-2005, 09:59 PM

Hey Donny O,

How does the TJ do with such a long plow? I know the physical weight of the Suburbanite is managable, but do you find that with 7' 4" that it's easy to get too much snow in front of you to push? My 6.5 Fisher gets kinda hairy when the snow is real deep (12" +)... but my tires kinda suck, so that's a major factor.

jp

Donny O.

12-15-2005, 10:12 PM

I hanve't had a problem yet.....with my tires and such it's not that much wider than my jeep anyway. the most i've done is about 4 inches but then did our parking lot from side to side then came at the pile end to end to puch it out back and it didn't even slow me down....and I was in 4 hi. but it was also fluffy snow and was comming over the top of the plow.

That's great. I bet that extra 10" (compared to my 6.5) is a real asset. I find mine is a bit short when I have it at full-angle -- it covers the width of the tires. But when I turn sharply, my rear tire ends up outside the cleared surface.

BTW, nice rig. I love my CJ... but if I ever have to replace it, a TJ is probably the way I'd go.

Scrambler22

12-19-2005, 08:12 PM

THanks Donny O, As far as to much weight ahead of the plow, my plow and bracket is weighing in a 575#s. :dizzy: It plows right thru almost anything. It will turn you if I'm going up hill but that's the nature of plowing with a short wheel base if your trying to plow too much. My Bronco did that too although my F250 never did. But I can plow much faster in the Jeep. To much snow in front will stop any Wrangler regardless of what tires you have. I have Bridgestone M/Ts and at a point it will stop me with too much in front.

I do have superlift springs on it for my 4" lift and this year I have bought air lift bags for the front but I really don't know if I'm even going to put them on. Front doesn't sag more then 1 1/2" with the blade up. Plus the ride really sucks for the the rest of the year. I put 420# of sand bags in the back which really helps.

Nice set up. You should change the postion of that snow deflector. I put mine up so that I ca get more height out of the plow. You can see pics of it here : http://www.plowsite.com/showthread.php?t=22503 Just a suggestion, works great for me.

wont the snow just flip the deflector back? and on another note do you have the part # on the light harness you have installed?

Boutallnite

01-23-2006, 10:26 AM

It never bent. That stuff is pretty strong, plus I had two ends left after it was cut that I used for support. Without I had snow fall over, with it gets all of it. I will see if I can find a part number, if I do I will post it.

I tried to hose it off and spray it down whenever I could
trust me it has rust- under the fuel fill is rusty, surface rust here and there, window regulator rotted right off the passenger side window so thats being held up with string. Its like a pet though- Ill never get rid of it.

I first started with a 4 cylinder 5 speed Wrangler and then tried to build a 4.2 6 cylinder auto jeep that wouldn't pass emmisions, so I bought a Rubicon. The wieght and the not worrying if my jeep is going to break down it really wonderful. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/fartinmowler/rubiplow1.jpg

My 1984 Jeep J-10 picked it up for $1500, i am a machinist by trade so to get me by for this winter i milled the edge strait again. I also removed the cap, new belts, added a fresh battery changed oil's and flushed radiator. I have all new brakes to put on next month. and so far i have only spent $200 extra for a total of about $1700, if it snowed in CT i might be able to start making money but till then its preventative maintenance

@ppandr - In another one of your forum posts you say that you have a YJ with a fisher minute mount. From the picture I can't tell if that's the minute mount or not. I am wondering about this because I too have a 1994 Wrangler YJ and desperately would like the minute mount system over the conventional mount system. If you have any insight as to how you accomplished this please let me know. I was thinking about buying TJ Minute Mount push plates and modifying them. Please get back to me. Thanks!

02-23-2007, 10:36 PM

I don't remeber that post....all the plows are fixed mounts and actually none are Jeep mounts. I have simply altered the mounts to fit my Jeeps. Pretty easy if you are NOT worried about it looking pretty and utilitarian. I don't know if anyone currently makes a minute mount type system for a Jeep where as only small hidden brackets remain.

i was looking for someone with that light bar, and your jeep is the same colors as mine. I'm going to order that light bar tomorrow.

it was a pain in the rear. when I had the soft top on I had to unbolt the support bars for the top to get it to go under the light bar. I coudn't just fold it up/back. I was also confused on what to do with the wiring but I suuspect that would be any light bar. so it was not a specific problem with that light bar but would be a problem with any light bar.

Hey...

What size did you get?, 6'8" or 7'6"

How do you like the setup???

Im thinking of getting either this setup with a 7'6" or a Boss Sport Duty Poly blade 7'6". The Boss is like 475lbs with the mount... not sure if the 4 dr JK can handle it.

Thanks...
JRunner01

monkemeier

12-17-2007, 09:00 AM

Jrunner01,

I got the 6'8". It works great, put the remote in a Bracketron in the cup holders.

The front end dips about a little over 1" at the fender, so probably a little more at the plow, but it is noticable. I think 480 lbs would be too heavy. The Snoway is about 275 lbs.

Hope this helps you.

Ed

jrunner01

12-17-2007, 11:30 AM

So is 275 lbs including the mount? Snoway told me about 50 lbs for the mount and all.

The 7-6 is 284 plus about 50 for the mount… so roughly Im thinking 335 lbs.

Did you get down pressure and wireless?... around here they want 4250 installed tax included. What was your cost?

Thanks…
JRUNNER

monkemeier

12-17-2007, 02:08 PM

Jrunner,

Yes, I have the down pressure and remote.

I do not know the total weight, I thought the mount was included in the weight, but 50lbs is probably close.

I have had the mount off already once, and it is pretty substantial.

My dealer charged $4000 not including tax, but other dealers nearby were as high as $4600.

Wow....and I thought my blades were far out in front. What does it measure from bumper to blade?

Actually I was looking at the mount and they could have easily brought the plow 2-3" closer to the front of the vehicle. I considering modifying it to do that. Not sure what the consequences would be, though. I was just gonna drill new holes closer in. I think I could get away with that. There's a lot of meat left in the mounting plates.

Tommy10plows

01-01-2008, 09:09 PM

Hi. Love the Jeep photos. Your upper shock mounts are breaking because you have extended front spring shackles on the front of your jeep. People do this for increased wheel clearance and most times it works fine. Except when you add 400 lbs of plow and lift to the front end.

Extended shackles change the caster angle of your front axle, and that means that the axle housing under load is "off center" on the vertical so much so that the stress relieves itself at the shock mount by breaking. Your shock towers are to dampen up and down motion, not to resist tortional twisting of the entire axle assembly at the spring saddle.

Look at your leaf springs, the spring radius is inverted. You need to add more leafs, or get new springs with thicker leafs, or add some air bags and axle stops to prevent the spring going inverted. Even your rear leaf springs are stressed, but not to the extent your fronts are due to the weight of engine, plow, plow frame, and plow lift. Add more weight carrying capacity to your "sprung" weight, and the towers will hold together.

ppandr

01-01-2008, 10:52 PM

Get yourself a set of JC Whitney rear leaf boosters (two piece kit) and install in the front under the stock leafs. They aren't meant to be installed this way but I have done this on both of my YJ's and they are exactly what you need. You may want to replace the extended shackles because when the blade is off they do provide an 1" or so of lift...about what you get out of the shackles.

chuckyj95

01-02-2008, 09:01 AM

Its the rear shock mounts that broke and the were just rusted all up. Last noveber I repalced the lower ones before I even bought the plow. I know the spring are inverted I am going to put a small lift like 1.5 Black dimond on this spring with tax money. The shackles are on because the 235 were to close to rubbing and the came with the jeep so I just had to put them on.

I'm with you stay away from the lightweight plow buy the chain lift, better plow and better investment if you ever need to sell.

Why the chain lift? Cuz it's always been done that way? You can carry a dead hydraulic only lift just as easy as a chain lift and they don't bounce around when you're going to and fro bro. Also a lighter plow = less wear on the vehicle.

My 2003 Rubicon...took this picture yesterday. This has been a very long winter for my poor jeep :( a few days before the storm my plow was moving really slow and drooping so I spent a few hours in my freezing cold garage changing the fluid and redoing the mounts for the plow, luck I did. I purchased a 1" plastic cutting edge this year and it works pretty good, quiet and less chance to do damage to anyones property. I had to take the plow lights off because we have large "street calming" speed bumps that if you go too fast and hit them they pop the bulb and I'm tired of buying them.

Been there, done that.

Since I put in my lift, I really don't need my plow lights any more. They are just holding up my turn signals now. :)
It was a rough weekend last week. I think I did everyone 4 times in one day. By the time I finished the last one, the first one already had 3-4" in the drive.
First time this year I had to plow out my own drive.
Only got stuck twice. :) Both my fault. those 3' deep drainage ditches can sure hang you up fast.

I have a lifted 96 TJ with large tires. I am going to put a Meyer 7' plow on this Fall. I will be plowing an 800' rolling gravel driveway. Do I need chains? The driveway is in the Colorado Mountains at 7800' elevation. We get a lot of snow.

PLOWIN DOUGH

07-30-2008, 07:37 AM

Ive never plowed out west. That being ssaid I would think that chains would be some good insurance but if you keep up with the snow you shouldnt need them. I guess it all depends on how often you plan on plowing and how far or on what roads you have to drive your jeep when your not plowing

Our yard truck and driveway plow, my '86 CJ7 with her Meyers set up (pathetic little blade I know,but it gets the job done). Busted the mickey moused mounting bracket the previous owner had hack welded to the frame so I either have to find a replacement (wich isn't proving too easy) or fabricate one some how.

Why such an extreme in the rear and stock in the front? Im not knockin ya, whatever works, just seems like a 44 or 8.8 woulda been just fine in the rear if the front 30 holds. You also wouldnt be draggin around a boat anchor.

Kudos for pullin off a plow that size on a jeep

I wanted a hi pinion axle in the rear, that meant a revers cut. Running on the revers of a D44 is no stronger that running on the front of a D35 so I went to the D60. I have a 4 1/2 lift and my r driveshaft has less drop than a stock Jeep. the D30 has the same u-joints as a D44 and a 1986 F150 I've had no issues with the D30 so why spend money I dont have too.

I use 235 75R15 Continental 4X4 Ice contact tires for the winter and I find my YJ works great in the snow. I had some all terrain tires on it previously and it was terrible.

Hmmmm, mine is just a bone stock mild lift just two inches YJ, ... has no ABS or traction control, its a 5 speed..... basically its just a box on wheels........ the BFG's ive only heard good reviews in the snow/ice, so i bought a set..... I honeslty just kinda float on top of the snow and spin my tires....... i even got skinny tires but the YJ weighs almost next to nuthing so it doesn't dig down that deep.... I even aired down once to se if that would help with a bigger foot print. i just got stuck worse....... and i have NO lockers so just one front tire spins and one rear tire spins

mrmagnum

11-12-2008, 09:19 PM

Mine is a stock height 1987and it was doing exactly like you said about floating on top of the snow. I put on the Continentals on and it was like a different truck. I have a friend with a Ranger who has the EXACT same tires that I used to use (all terrains) and he loves them. I guess it depends on the truck. I understand Blizzaks work really well on the Jeeps.

11-13-2008, 08:59 AM

mrmagnum,

I'd agree with your analysis. I had a Bronco II then a Ranger with the same tires and they both acted way different in the slop/muck. I think the differences had a lot to do with the total weight of the vehicle and the weight DISTRIBUTION between the front axle and the rear axle. The Bronco II was much more predictable and frankly better handling than the Ranger. If I added weight to the Ranger, it acted much better.

Good Luck!

I sold it to a guy (due to wife saying it cost to much to fix all the time) on the east side of Cincinnati, where it is now?, I have now clue. It could be there, a junkyard, or cuba???;) Thanks for the comment and I do miss it! I would love to see it again and drive it one more time.

Sorry to change subjects, but i feel the same as above for one of my former vehicles. I've even went as afar as orderig a carfax for it, and found it in CT, Im in Mass, so it can't be far. But the registry doesn't allow them to disclose the current owner. I'd buy that car from the owner in a heartbeat.... I had traded it in after my wife made me get rid of it..... so that means it went to an auction and most likey this guy bought it.

Working on getting a plow on the old Comanche... Its an 88 with the 4.0L, auto, soa rear, 4.5" up front, otherwise stock with 250,000 miles the original drivetrain. I bought it and built it for my GF who wanted to get into wheeling. She gets on it to, lots of right foot action! These pics were last month but I haven't done much since then, to busy. I'll get it finished over xmas break as I'm getting a new plasma cutter for xmas and I have a 4'x4' piece of 1/4" steel in the garage i'll be making the whole mount from scratch. Oh, its also getting a winch bumper as well, still up in the air how i'm going to mount the lift pump. I'm thinking I'll make the winch lift hoop bolt to the winch plate.

I love the pic of your SS Dauntless playing in the woods!!
What about the right side windshield wiper and the passenger door mirror?
Seems they would also be of benefit to have when plowing..... :confused:
