Snow Plow for xB

Hi,

I was just pokin around the Pep Boys website, and one of the parts they have listed for the Scion xB is a bolt-on Snow Plow. Kinda made me laff out loud just a bit !!

Not that we'd need one here in southern Florida, but maybe some you northern folks might want to consider this mod.

Oh sure... They can make a snowplow for the xB, but still nobody sells a brush guard for one?!?

If you knew how to weld, You could buy a premade one, and then fit it to your application..

Remove those vertical "battering ram" pieces, leave the 5 horizontal bars that cover the headlights and upper grill area, and chrome it, and you've got a winner! Just like the brush guards that some of the other vehicles (that never go off-road) come from the factory with. Why not? I live out in the country and with gravel and rocks everywhere, not to mention trees, seems like it would do a good job protecting the lights and grill.

I dont think the xB has enough power to plow snow. Snow is heavy, would probably end up burning out the engine.

A plow is a good way to bend your frame, even on a full size truck. An xB wouldn't last one winter.

In Minnesota it was conventional wisdom back in the day that if a pickup truck with a snow plow blade was for sale, don't buy it because something's wrong it. If, on the other hand, you were able to get everything set up just right to where both the truck and blade were working right, you'd have to be out of your mind to sell it.

That was back when they still didn't plow back roads.

Snow Plow

PIXELGOD....

Truly your name is righteous !!

You could probably sell that back to Pepboys site !!!

Now I wonder if anybody has attached an xA or an xB to a set of airplane wings like one of those cross-breed vehicles from the late 50's early 60's (if memory serves)....
