Default Plow??

I been thinking of getting a plow put on my jeep and maybe earn some extra money doing drive ways or something like that. I found some on craigslist for cheap but they said they came of a wrangler, so i was wondering would they work on a cherokee?

I personally wouldnt wanna run a plow on my XJ, but at the same time, Michigan is a moneymaker for that type of stuff. Your investment might cover your venture. I don't know about that plow though. Looks kinda of jankety.

I know my dad has used a plow on the jeep i now own. I still have the steel "pegs" he used to mount it on my jeep, I know it worked quite well. I do not have much knowledge on how he did it, or how plows work on other vehicles, but I do know my 96' sport ran hot as hell if i took it more than like 10 miles with it on lol.
