Well I spent the weekend getting the truck ready for the up coming plowing season:-X23
I forgot what the truck rode like with those little stocker tires on there, my 35"s really give it a whole different ride, BETTER!
Front and back plows ready to go, mirrors changed to the baby ones, hand waxed it, boy I envy you guys out West!!!!and South.

Well, when I mount them up again, I will take some pics, both plows add almost 7' to the length, glad it's not a 4 door!
I made the back plow so it mounts in my rear receiver, that way I can take the whole unit off in a matter of minutes and it doesn't have some ugly bumper left on there.
Monsta, I don't know if you could get the soccer ***** out the back doors though

Hey, it's a balmy 42 degrees here this morning,God I love remote starters!!
My friend manufactures rear plows, (box style) named "Drift Buster"
I have the prototype from a few years back, which of course I had to highhly modify to work on my truck.
I think he gets around $2500 or right around there for the setup.
I haven't seen any of those newer types, and I really can't see the benefit of having a curved rear blade. Rear plows really shouldn't be used to clear a big area, to much build up of snow getting jamed up into the bottom of the truck.
But rear plows do make a nice jack/lift to get your rear tires off the ground to change a flat!!

Same here Dave, I also keep them inside during the off season.
My back plow looks a little "used" but it went through the ringer a few years ago, so it's functional, but not as shinny and new as I would like. I run a Monarch pump for the rear, which is mounted in my bed toolbox and sees no wheather. Some guys mount them right in there bed...could never figure out why.
