I didn't know how badly i wanted a snow plow on my jeep until this moment... i live in the south where it never snows, but you never know?
Yeah, if we move closer to my son - in Florida, it goes with me.
I'd be one of the only ones in the state with a plow so if it snowed, people would almost have to call me. (or wait an hour until it melted)

Doing double duty as a tow truck, works great even with 3.5" lifted! About 100 mi each way, Willow Springs Raceway, CA. Helps with aluminum trailer at 1400lbs and my lightwt 240Z :like:

Nice car and trailer too. I like how the fenders come off.

I’m shooting to get some time at Limerock this summer with the Supra. I have a neighbor who is big into racing with his built RX7. In Fact, I have 3 other neighbors who sound like they want to all do a track day together. So we’d be a group with a wide range of cars. A 20 Supra, 22 C8 Z51, a 16 Cayman GTS, a 22 Mustang Mach 1 and a RX7 that’s basically a race car (450 hp and weighs under2k pounds I believe)

My Aluma tilt-bed is 1500 even with the hydraulic cylinder and lines, etc.
My fenders come off the same way but I've not had to take them off yet. Maybe with the Javelin in order to open the doors, but the Eagle sits so high the door opens over the fenders.
I was originally looking at a Sport S max tow but in 2019 they didn't come with any of the stuff my wife wanted. So she and the dealer started looking at Overland. I reminder my wife of the much lower tow rating of the Overland. I said with my trailer (I had a PJ back then) that I'd be maxed out.
So she looks at me and says "so buy a lighter trailer". So I did. Aluma, several hundred pounds lighter.
I love pulling into swap meets, shows and race events towing with my Jeep - get some looks for sure.

Heck, you're all set with the tent and all!

or wait until there's a hurricane and use it to push debris out of the way. there's been times we've see it push sand (many inches) from the Gulf over the road and they had to bring in plows to clear the road.

I had forgotten about that. Yeah - seen the pictures. We just missed Ian. We were in the Sarasota area, visiting beaches and such, then up to St. Augustine to finish our visit with my son and is family, and just after we got home we saw the news.
