I recently completed the installation of forward and rear facing 20" light bars on my XJ2025H along with upgrading the tool box on my tractor. I thought I'd post some pic's of the build and the finished product.
The light bar were these from Amazon. LightFox 20'' inch 126W Cree LED Light Bar Offroad 4wd Spot FLood Combo LED Work Lights for Trucks Suv Atv Tractor Pickup Jeep Lamp 12v 15000LM
I bought the switches at Online Components.com. The switches are 20 amp dpdt by Carling Technologies. One switch is used for the lights, up position front light and down position for the rear light. The second switch I installed is for a future project. The switches fit the existing 22mm x 44mm cutouts in my dash panel perfectly. They are ran directly to the battery with 14 ga wire and I fused the circuit for 10 amps.
Though I'm sure all will not agree, I choose to drill a hole in my ROPS and run the wire through it and added a water tight cord grip.
Below are the links to the switches and fuse holders that I used.

For the mounting of the light bars to the ROPS I used a 9" x 22" piece of steel plate and had a bracket and cover made from 12 ga steel. I wrapped the ROPS in a piece of rubber to reduce any vibration and ensure a good tight fit. In the final assembly the cord gip is centered in the hole and the plate is centered on the ROPS.
A couple of pic's of the completed install.
In addition to the light bars I also upgraded my toolbox. I added a mounting plate to accommodate the larger tool the I picked up at TSC.

can you take one million pictures from the backhoe showing the structural components? I almost completed my
