There is a fellow on another forum that's attached a snow plow to his Jeep.
In case you can't tell that's a 6' 3 point back blade that he's got on the front.

That there is a how lot of work and expense just to get your Jeep pictured all over the net.
And be laughed at.
If he bought all of that Rube Goldberg eggineering company stuff he could almost buy an actual plow made for that.
 
Any attachment to a suspension component (sway bar) is looking for the worst possible disaster. There is nothing in these photos that would survive 10 minutes with a very careful operator in any state doing anything. I gag at the danger to the jeep, its operator, and all people within 100 yards of it. Jim
 
It appears to be a single acting lift cylinder. From what I can see, when he starts to push, there isn't anything keeping the arms from being pushed upward.

Lotta effort. Pretty sure his results will be disappointing......if not down right dangerous to the whole rig.
 
There will be a big vee in the top of the grille possibly in the top radiator tank the first time he hits something big if he dares to use the blade to push with.
 
Been plowing snow for a long time
and i think on this one something is going to bend and not in the right way ..
 
My thoughts exactly (assuming it survives long enough to actually do that). Looks like the distance from the blade to the front axle is about equal to a Jeep's wheelbase. Lots of leverage for the sideways force of the angled blade to work with.
 
Looks like a cleaver way to haul the new hitch and blade home, if you drive slow on smooth roads. I wouldn't try to push any snow with it though.

Dumb question: Is a red or orange flag or other warning required for items extending more the four feet past the front bumper, just like past the rear bumper?
 
I'm trying to think of some smart way to say what has already been said, but I give up. I'll just say I'm in agreement with the general consensus here.
 
Thank you.

That might be the best thing I’ve seen on the internet in a couple days.

Bless his heart.

I do not see anything that is strong enough to push snow on the Jeep. I predict that mount will be in the radiator, and the sway bar will be under the Jeep.
 
I would hire him to plow my driveway. Watching it would be worth the price of admission that is for sure.
 
I wish I had the money he stuck in to that contraption. But Im glad I don't have to pay for the many things I can see that will go wrong.

Even Rube Goldberg wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole.
 
I looked and seen the words Tpoint Lift on the vertical post in the picture. It's a commercially made 3 point that goes in a 2" reciever. Google Tpoint hitch once. Made in Texas for $1580.00. One born every minute....
 
It's a Mark I, Mod 0 version. Needs further development. Break it and fix it. You
will organically reach a workable design. Computers would allow more mistakes, much cheaper.
 
In his defense the L shaped bracket welded on each end of the square tube does bolt through the top frame lip, making it bolted to the frame fairly substantially. The trouble is it needs a vertical plate at least 3/8” thick welded to the back side of the square tube extending back to another added cross brace between the frame rails to counter act the twist. I am glad I am not the one buying the failing chassis components of other items that may be involved in certain carnage.
 
For the money spent on brackets and such. He could have bought a tractor to put the blade on, and would have at least something that might work. This looks like something people I know would do. Then complain when it cost a whole lot more to fix the damage. Then go buy a tractor after the effect.
 
Have to give him credit for having faith in his Jeep and his mechanical abilities. Evidently he has never driven it in the snow or he would know better. It won't be a problem when he first tries it because the Jeep will just spin. The problem will come when he gets the bright idea of trying a running go. Lots of damage then.
 
I would like to see what is holding the back of the Jeep down. Loader bucket on the rear bumper? That is a mess that will fold under the first time it hits something solid. I personally like the turn buckles hooked to a chain wrapped around a non-structural suspension component held down by 2 M8 bolts.
 
(quoted from post at 22:50:05 01/11/21) Nice work but I think a jeep is too light for that kind of work.

That's a disaster waiting to happen. However, I've been plowing snow for 20 years or so with a '79 Jeep CJ7 with few problems.

Please post a link to the forum thread that this Jeep "plow" conglomeration is the subject thread.

Would be fun to read that one two.
I bet some of the younger ones think it is great.
 
That guy must have engineer blood in his veins with some of the sizing of material he’s used to build that
 
I thi k it would have make more sense to install the three point hitch on the back and pull the plow
