Has anyone ever plowed with their Gladiator? If so what did you think? I am thinking of getting myself a plow for the winter but am not sure in which direction to go.

Plowed with my rubicon last winter and I was truly impressed. I have used a lot of trucks in the past: f150/250 and GMC. I found a smaller plow, sized for the jeep did a better job for my driveway.

I use a floater with front hitch mount. No connections or hydraulics. $1800 OTD and it weighs only 100# when transporting.

what front hitch did you use on your JTR? Any interference issues with the install?I use a floater with front hitch mount. No connections or hydraulics. $1800 OTD and it weighs only 100# when transporting.

It’s a SnowSport plow built in North Dakota and they sell front hitches specifically for the Rubicon. The link with videos attached. Price two years ago included the receiver. I love that it’s light!

So, that 'floater', it runs up and down the verticals? When not in use, you hang it on top of them for transporting?
I have plowed for 30 years and never saw anything quite like that for a truck.
@thedude I have a Blizzard 8-11 for our duallie, man are they heavy. I can't imagine something like that on the front of a JT.
Nice Sportage. I was with Kia when they first came to the US. At their R&D center, I saw an axle out of a Sportage that was chucked solid on one end and the other end turned 90° in both directions from center, it did that all day long.

Exactly.. Doesn’t tear up my lawn. Can be used in the back receiver as well or switch to another vehicle. Less stress on the suspension

I’ve had a SnowSport plow for 23 years! Same mount, same plow! How many other plows are out there still being used after that long? It’s been used on 6 different vehicles and friends borrow it all the time. Back in the day I paid $750 for it brand new. Best investment ever! Will be adding a front receiver to the Gladiator before the first flake falls. Come to think of it, I’m off to etrailer to order a KURT front receiver right now.

Not gladiator related but anyone have a opinion on the home plows? Thinking of one for the TJ.

I bought a used one 10 years ago, been on three rams and will be on my gladiator this fall. Saves the back from shoveling and the yard from hired plows. Great tool!

Wonder if you could use a winch to raise it like on a UTV?
Shouldn't take much fabrication for those of us who have a winch already, those who don't probably could get away with a cheap UTV winch.
I bet that you could even use one of those dual hitches, designed for a bike rack or whatever, then mount a small winch in the top receiver and the plow in the bottom.
Now if I just had time to fabricate........
