Honestly i wouldn't put a plow on a xj or anything i care about.Plowing is murder on the truck its mounted to and if you use a salt spreader thats salt all over your xj not a good idea.

I will try to get some pics for you as far as the mounting bracket.
As someone who actually plows with a cherokee, let me tell you about it. I use a meyers Plow. It is fantastic for doing fairly large driveways but also performs amazing in tight areas. My jeep is nothing special to look at so if yours is your daily driver or in great condition you may want to reconsider as it will abuse the truck, as does all plows.

I plowed snow for my customers (18 yrs.) mostly all commercial accounts and what they are telling you is true use nothing less than a 3/4 ton truck or a 1 ton if it has a spreader. Nothing is harder on the frames than a plow and what you hit under the snow, I used all Western 8' Plows and found out early that a 1/2 ton PU was not up for the job.
It is also hard on transmissions and requires HD charging systems/batteries to run the plow and lights. The front suspension needs to be beefed up to carry the extra weight of the plow also.
Then the real biggie paying the commercial insurance to do plowing the companies consider it a high risk.

My jeep is a beater, I got it really cheap and thought it would be a good plow vehicle for my driveway and my moms, I'm not doing anything crazy with it, hopefully only using it 2-3 times a year.

i'm just in the middle of pulling a plow off an F150. the plow was too small for the ford, but perfect width for my TJ.
i just pulled the plow, and now have to fab up a mount for the TJ. then find a couple rams and it should be good to use for my driveway.
i see many xj's with plows. there are a couple up here close to my. one is on a waggy. looks like it was there since new, and he's still using it to plow his farm driveway.
so i think you will be fine. is your plow blade plastic or steel? if steel, you could always cut that skin off and reskin it with plastic.
that's probably what i'm gonna do with this one too.
