Has anyone ever tried to put a plow on their Luv. I've seen them on s10 blazers, so surely one can be made to work. I would think it would be just as effective as a bobcat with a blade. I've thought about putting one on my cummins truck but too big to plow smaller lots, hard to manuver. And the Luv gets around a ton better in the snow. What do you think?

IDK of anyone doing this, but it would probably work pretty well. The boxed frame should hold up well for a plow. Power might be the only issue.
I don't live in a snow area, so I wouldn't know personally, but someone on the computer told me that snow plowing is VERY hard on u-joints.

it's been done. must have been a custom job, because i don't know and couldn't find a plow for the truck that was available.

i saw this poor bastard down near panguitch last year. didnt get to stop and take a good look, but it was definitely relegated to sit there....

burning up the 8" clutch is a big issue Isuzu had with plows on them...

according to Jerry.
