Figured some of you may get a kick out of this. 2003 with 215k miles. It was stuck in this photo, but that was my own fault (the other side is in a ditch).

It pushed a lot of snow yesterday!

It actually works quite well once you get some weight and a set of chains in the back. Was pushing over a foot of snow without issue, even with it running on 5 cylinders half the time (haven't figured that one out yet).

You cannot beat the turning radius of these things. I really don't want to switch to a full size truck if/when it dies.

Sure do! Night and day difference. I'm running some sort of general grabber AT tires, so with snow tires I may not have needed chains, but with these tires I definitely did.

KONIG XG-12 PRO are the chains of you were curious. Easy as hell to put on and they will start cutting through frozen dirt if you get yourself stuck enough. I may buy a set for the front, I could probably go anywhere with them, until all 4 tires stop touching the ground that is.

It's for a utv and goes into a 2in front reciever. Bought the whole setup on Amazon for less than a grand I believe, plus once this dies, I just need a front receiver for whatever the next plow truck is.
These are what I bought:
72 inch DENALI UTV Snow Plow Kit - for UTVs with a 2 inch Receiver

Curt Manufacturing 31022 Trailer Hitch

Superwinch 1130220 LT3000ATV 12 VDC

It all should come up on Amazon when searched for. The 72" plow clears the wheel base just fine. Only kicker is it's a manual tilt of the plow (you need to go out in the cold to change it) but I leave it pushing snow to the right because screw going out in the cold...

I'm happy with the setup.

Haha, yeah that's the professional I'm going to make this vehicle last and plow with it for years route.

I'm in the "the head gasket blew 20k miles ago, was stopped with blue devil coolant additive, and may go any second on a vehicle not worth fixing to me" route. I'd be ecstatic if it lasts me this season..

Speaking of that, are any parts off a renegade sought after anymore? I may start parting it out while I'm still using it. Lol

Yes they are very much so, many keep upgrading their KJs and don't let them die a painful death.
So send us a list, minus the flares, you can send them to me !

How much do get paid to strap that jeep down on my car trailer, and tow it around for people to take parts off it? :D

I just need to be able to plow and be warm while doing it. The poor thing doesn't owe me anything at this point.

I'm thinking once the motor does give up someone must want it for a 5 speed swap. I had to put an input shaft in it 20 some k ago(pilot bearing toasted it), everything in there looked good at that time. I'm thinking the 5 spd was a bit overbuilt compared to the rest of the car.

How do the fender flares some off? There's some damage on the drivers side from a previous owner, but I should probably take them off before a break them off on a tree or something.
