The same can be said for towing ,4 wheelin, Moab,installing a winch, lifting, bigger tires,etc. I see no problems with doing some light plowing ,by that I mean a few driveways. This would not be for commercial plowing. There is a full frame under the vx it will be just fine. And as far as the "parting out thread" that could be from just driving down the road. shawn
