    20211121_154022.jpg I picked up this next to new (used once) plow for my Tundge. It’s in my sig below. Now I gotta change out my tires, add some ballast, and my light. Looking for a aftermarket bumper and a back rack too. It’s gonna be interesting to see how this light truck plows. Being so light will create traction issues. So 8 think I’m gonna put some 255 snow tires on. We’ll give her hell.

    I would assume you aren't plowing anything too big. But thats kinda awesome. Always wondered how one of these Tundra's would plow.

    Should be fine with some weight. I plowed for years with a 98 Cherokee 6'8" Snoway and a 92 Dakota 7'6" Snoway.

    Here's my word of warning if you've never plowed before. It's not a bulldozer ramming into piles at speed is the best way to break things, make sure you're stopped before shifting into drive/reverse unless you want to buy a transmission. Lastly and most important check with your insurance, if you're accepting payment for driveways you're a business and your personal coverage will not cover damages.

    Yeah. Not plowing anything big. I just gotta figure out how to get these lights working and downsize these tires. Lol.

    Should be fine. I had a 7'6 plow on my old 87 xtra-cab and it worked fine. I wouldn't try any commercial lots with it - but the tundra weighs more, has twice as many cylinders, and being an auto should help.

    Mine came with an old Fisher Homesteader plow that I plan to use for my to driveway once it starts falling here (any day now really). Also just had the trans completely rebuilt ($$$) a few months ago so I don't plan on doing anything more than my own driveway with it.

    Nice. I just plowed my buddy’s shop. Rough ass lot he has. What a way to break it in! I’m gonna keep a piece of pipe with a slit in it there to slip over my cutting edge just for that freaking lot.

    Ya I've done dirt/busted lots before with another truck and they aren't much fun til the ground freezes up good and hard.

    Yeah. It was more of his lot being very uneven. Humped up in spots. Ridges here and there. 3/4 gravel, 1/8 asphalt, and 1/8 concrete. All with a brand new plow and edge. I must have tripped 10 times easy. It also don't help that the lights SUCK.
