Snow plow on a 4Runner?

I’ve decided plowing with my tractor is for younger people so I want to put a snow plow on my 4Runner.
I don’t want to switch to a Tundra or Tecoma. Love my 4runners.
Has anyone delt with adding a plow (just for my own driveway) to a 4Runner?
Any thoughts?

I've put a plow on a 3rd gen and my 5th gen. Plows well. Mine were custom built. But I've also had western plows on an fj40 and HD trucks. I'm not sure the 4runner would do well with a pro plow. I absolutely wouldn't put a poly plow on. They're heavy! The pro plow on my hd truck was 750lbs without wings. About 900 with them. The fj40 can handle the weight okay. The 4runner would not do well in any generation with that much weight up front.

A western defender would be the type I'd look at. They're light weight and light duty. 290lbs. And western quality.

My setup on the 4runner is like an ATV plow only heavier. But uses the winch for up/ down. Manual angle. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/211527-homeade-snow-plow.html. I built it to plow my driveway only. I would not use it commercially. But it does great for my 100 foot driveway.
