To install a snow plow on your 1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ you have two options, one that uses specific brackets to mount to the vehicle or one that mounts to a front mounted trailer hitch receiver.

If you want to use one that mounts using a front mounted trailer hitch receiver then I recommend the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches - Electric Winch - 84" Wide x 22" Tall # SB324-081 with the CURT Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31028. This residential hitch-mounted snowplow makes short work of your snowy driveway or parking lot. Pivoting, 5-position blade glides over uneven ground. Remote-controlled electric winch lets you raise and lower plow from your warm cab.

If you would instead like to use one that requires specific brackets then I recommend the Detail K2 Storm II Elite Snowplow - Custom Mount - Electric Actuator - 84" x 22" # K2STOR8422ELT with the Custom Mounting Brackets for Detail K2 Snowplows # K284117. The brackets provide the necessary attachment points for Detail K2 Storm II snow plow without protruding out beyond the bumper. This residential snowplow with 3-position, steel-edge blade clears driveways and parking lots. Wireless, electric actuator with internal clutch lets you operate plow from your warm cab. Shock-absorbing springs protect you and your vehicle from impact.

Of the two I recommend getting the SnowBear Personal Snowplow. The front mounted hitch will be useful year round for hauling items on a cargo carrier or a bike rack whereas the custom bracket snow plow will only be compatible with the snow plow blade.

You will most likely also need some plow lights since the blade will block your TJ's headlights. I recommend the Buyers Products Universal Snowplow Light Kit # 3371311100. These headlamps come complete with low beam, high beam, and parking/turn signal light to make your setup DOT compliant. They will mount on surface of plow frame and come with a universal snowplow light headlight adapter for easy hookup.
