Snow Plow Fitment


Recommended Posts

Hi I recently bought a 86 Mj It has a Meyers snow plow that looks like it was built just for the comanche No chessy universal brackets exc. The brack bolts in place along the sides of the frame and is noched out around the sway bar the factory bumper is also bolted to it all the notchs are factory cut and holes drilled no crappy torch work. What I was wondering is if this plow would fit other models of Jeep or just the comanche? I have heard something to the effect of that the comanche and the cheroke were the same from the firewall up If so for what period/model years? I was thinking of haghing onto the plow if it would fit other jeeps But have no plans of pushing snow with this one. Thanks for any info..

AMC sold Meyers plows through dealers as the factory-endorsed rig, so it most likely is a mount that was engineered specifically for the XJ and MJ. And, as already noted and confirmed, it will fit any MJ (Comanche) and all XJs (Cherokee) from 1984 through 2001. NOT Grand Cherokee.

:agree: With the above statements.

 

Also.......if this is truly a OEM mounted plow, the front bumper will be mounted on the outside of the plow undercarriage, with the "light" bar / pump mount behind the front bumper, and it will have extended bumper ends, longer than the stock bumper ends.

 

Check the front end of the Uni-body / frame for any damage, I've seen one MJ where the front frame section was bend down and cracked from the use of a Meyers plow.

 

In the time..........Both Myers (the "2 Meter plow" OEM) and Sno-way (80" steel and Lexan) offered the undercarriage for the MJ and the XJ's. The plow blade it's self is not worth much, it's the undercarriage that has the value.

Thanks guys good info. I belive it must be the factory option by Wildmans acount it seems to be. I do have a bit of damage on the front of the frame rails ( lack of a better word concearning the unibody ) but no tears or major crumpiling just a slight bending downward . I did frame repair and bodywork the first several years out of school and seen far far woarce caused by deer . Thanks again
