I just got a new Frontier 4X4 and designated my 2002 Tacoma 4X4 as "beater." My neighbor has a Snow Sport 84" plow for his Jeep Wangler to do his driveway. I just ordered one from RealTruck.com in ND for $1500 to do my 300' gravel driveway.
Yes, having a "beater" is the only way to plow.
Can you post some more info or pm me with it, I'm interested as well. I'm on a flag lot and my driveway is over 700 feet long with 6500 sq ft of parking and turn around space by the house.
I don't disagree with all of you about the stress on the truck, but I had a heart attack in November, and I need to find a better way to clean my driveway (less stress on me). And as far as cheaper to hire someone......I was quoted 600$ for that 28" of snow in December. They wont all be that bad, but even 200-300 a pop would pay for a plow quick. I also found plows, like Clint said for 3k-5k, and thought it was a little too much, but 1500 is a little more or the same as a good snow blower.
I'd consider it for personal/residential use.
