hey rclark looks like a good set up, how is the front suspension with the plow raised and what kind of plow gear are you using and what size, do you have any other pictures, the frame mount etc.

thanks mariner

thanks for the input jsandy24 checked the boss unit out on the web looks good, do you know what the ground clearance is with the plow removed and how easy does the frame mount come off for summer months.

Here's a picture of the Fisher plow mounts and bracket. The brackets stay on all the time and you have 9" from back of bracket to ground. The mounts are removed with a couple of carter pins. (On and off in no time at all). Drive right on to the frame and lock your pin springs in and your done. Does a real good job on driveways and that's with a stock Wrangler X (auto with 3.73 gearing). About $3200 install.... There's better plows out there, but do you want to spend a couple of grand more just to clean your driveway?

If you have an Auto, be careful switching from F to R (which you will do OFTEN when plowing). Be CERTAIN that your vehicle has STOPPED and you pass through N slowly, when switching gears.

Switching gears too quickly from R to F (even when stopped) and also switching to F while rolling R or to R when rolling F, wears on the transmission. You might think "oh well it works so it must be OK"... WRONG!

After a year or so of doing that your transmission will have problems like getting stuck in a gear or being unable to engage when you shift into R. Trust me, I have seen this happen on several Chrysler transmissions, and I'm sure other mfgrs' transmissions are just as volatile. It only takes about 1/4 to 1/2 of a second extra to do this. Isn't your auto transmission worth it?

I give this advice to everyone, but it is particularly important anytime you are doing a lot of F to R and back type of shifting, especially in such extreme temperatures...

Anybody got any ideas if there would be any benefit to having lockers or not.
