Was doing a bit of wiring cleanup and fixing in the panel, while it was open I put in some light swithces and stubbed in a connector. A few days later pulled the ROPS and started laying out where the brackets needed to be. All the lights were left overs from other part outs and such. While it was on the floor, a very noticeable bend in the frame became apparent.

Got to finally use that 10 ton hydraulic unit I got off craigslist a couple years ago, a bit of force and a bit of heat got things back to where they belonged, for the most part.

Had a nice red marker light from a Toyota, enlarged the center hole enough to fit it and had an existing hole for the backup light, which is swithced separately.

And the front ones. There was already a piece of 1/8" pipe running along the right side, pulled some wires and used plastic loom for the rest. Probably will never need to use them, but it looks more complete this way.

Those porta power rams sure do come in handy. A mate and I managed to straighten the cab in my S150 that when i bought it had been in a truck that rolled. The side of the cab was pushed right over into the lift arm. A bit of pressure and a hammer got it back into shape. Heat and a hammer got the other small bits back to where they should be. Its not perfect, but its far better than it was.
