On the plus side it looks like he can clear a 35 up front.

No winning, and no such thing as fresh water, up here in winter, it is either way cold, or if it warms up all the puddles and slush are full of salt.
Pretty much no way to keep a rig flushed of salt. Land of salt white streets.

Or have a 1.5 year old son to take care of and a limited budget for your project so it sits in the garage and sees the outside world once in a great while. Like when it is too dang cold and windy to change the oil in the wifes car in the driveway.

Not too shocking to me, my last two FSJ plows died from bad frames, not all due to their time plowing, but more due to being here in salt country.
One was my Dad's 78 J20 that he bought new, frame broke in half.
The other was a wag that the PO's wife didn't want him hauling kids in anymore, it had a patch by the fuel tank, but I eventually pulled the rear bumper and shackles off of it.

I have seen much worse than that Wag. Late 70s Wag parts truck, when I opened the door the body/frame buckled in the middle. Got the factory clock out of it though! I've seen a few cars and trucks with holes rusted through the middle of the hood or roof.
