Default Ready for a snow plow?

Alright, so as many on the east coast probably know, we got a MASSIVE amount of snow last weekend. And shoveling all of that snow really sucked. So I have been looking into some plows for my '91 Cherokee Laredo. I dont want one of those expensive hydrolic beast monsters, just a simple small one to mount and clear the driveway, maybe even a little bit of my street, considering the neighbors are a bit nicer lol. So I just wanted to see if some people thought my jeep could handle it. Its got a stock I-6 4.0 High Output in it with auto trans and stock 4x4. Everything seems to work great, hasnt died on me yet. She has only about 196000 miles. No lift or anything like that. So what do you all think?

I've been thinking of something I could slip into my receiver hitch. I don't really want to do much more than my own driveway. Its probably more complicated than I want to actually figure out though.

In general, I wouldn't use a Cherokee for a front plow. The unit body isn't up to it. There are kits though that are available I believe.
