Thanks for the info! Yep, it will be for my farm. I was using my ATV to plow and it worked well enough. I was plowing about 500 ft of asphalt and a couple parking area, but now I have added about 150 feet of gravel surface to plow. It use to take 2-3 hours sometimes. I can't spend that much time out there. Would rather be doing it from a warm cabin.
I am also looking for a beater 4x4 truck with a plow...just to plow and haul crap on the farm. So that may be my solution. I just don't need another vehicle to maintain.

unibody no bueno for plows. It would take a lot of fabrication to build even a light duty plow rig out of an XJ.
There are dozens of Cherokee XJs with plows running around Minne-snow-ta....how many plow trucks of any kind in Sacremento, California?
If you're plowing commercial lots, that's one thing
But for driveways and sidewalks the XJ is a perfect fit. Small, narrow, and maneuverable. Several manufacturers make suitable plows.
If it's just for your hobby farm, I'd consider a Sno-Way ST22. It's lightweight (300 lbs) and has hydraulic downpressure. They make them with 6'8" or 7'6" clear polycarbonate blades.
If your needs are more robust, Western and Meyer both make small (~6.5') steel plows that you see hung on XJs.
Today, the consensus seems to be the Blizzard 680/720 series
A quick Google turned up several discussions. Here's one:
