Anyone seen a plowing mod?

[WhipSticks]

The absence of an accessible frontal plow attachment point gave me pause when I placed my order. But now I am seeing the occasional aftermarket front bumper, and it made me wonder if anyone has managed to attach a plow blade to the lightning. Truck doing truck things...

From what I can see, it would need to remove some shrouding below as well. I ended up going with a backblade pull plow.

Truck doesn't possess the capability to plow, unless you're using a fixed blade with no hydraulics / electric connections.

I have a DIY built wooden back blade (push) that covers what I need for my driveway.

I've got quite a bit to clear so I went with a hydraulic pull plow and a wireless controller.

I have a Snowsport fixed blade that I have had attached to a Tacoma truck— and which has worked well on a long driveway—would like to put on front of Lightning, if feasible.

I have been researching how best to do this since I first heard about the Lighting. No luck so far but do think the aftermarket will eventually come out with a front receiver hitch at which point it gets a lot more possible.

I believe the lightning has about 50 amps of 12v accessory power so it will probably require adding an additional battery or two to buffer the draw. It takes under an hour to do all my plowing so I think I will be fine with additional batteries even if I never connect into the truck side power.

This is basically a research project for me as I will likely never actually do it... My requirement is to be able to revert to stock appearance quickly and easily.

For us southerners, I would love to see a picture of a wooden DIY back blade, whatever that means

This is why I retired from the Air Force in South Texas and did not return to a previous duty station in Nebraska where I met my first wife
