I'm having issues trying to find a plow set up for a 98 and 99 cherokee. I talked to one person and he said they don't make them for the XJ's for those years. I'm looking for either a western set up or Fisher set up. I dont want a meyers because i'm sick of there pump set ups and them always freezing.

Thanks.

 

XJ is not the best setup for a plow w/o major mods, best to stick to a 1/2 or 3/4 ton pickup.

 

Interesting since i always see wranglers with plows and people love them in the winter. I have a 1/2 ton Ram thats getting a plow. But we were thinking of getting a nice 6.5 foot for one of the cherokees to do some small family members driveways.

 

Wranglers are not unibody construction, unlike an XJ.

 

I forgot that major point!

 

I feel that cherokees and wranglers are both not good for plowing feel like there too light.

 

 

I guess you have never had an issue? lol

 

I ran an old CJ with a plow (the rig belonged to a friend). In fact it was one of those somewhat rare ones with the weird American flag designs all over it.

It (like Wranglers) had a full frame, & a fairly small plow.

That thing worked pretty well, although I wouldn't try driving it at freeway speeds.

 

police xj i install western snowplows for a living. and they havent made a plow mount for the cherokee since 1996. that was the last year for the cherokee

 

how much has changed in the unibody construction from 96 to 01?

 

i dont think any but xj's wernt popular for plows so they discontinued that mount

 

hi i have a 1998 jeep .i just bought a snowplow for it its got a home made uncarrage for the plow i still have to weld it up for my jeep .. it came off a 1/2 ton chev truck.. i payed $ 400. for the plow .it may be next year for the plow but thats ok i got a 6 hp wheelhorse with a plow on it ... it great in the snow .. but cold on me .lol

 

I run one on my 88, it does great.





and here is an 01 Limited that I was trying to buy with a factory meyers mount, no custom fab.

 

I've always wondered how an XJ would do...
thanks for reviving this thread.
