We've "straightened" (a relative term, obviously) some old trail rig type vehicles that way. No video of it though.

Then heat it to remove stress and finally heat treat to desired hardness.
Not sure how much it would cost though perhaps you could get a aircraft mechanic school to use it as practice.
Why on Earth would you want a Jeep in Florida?

All that stuff is way over my head. Forgot to take pics yesterday. Try to remember tomorrow. I'm more of a powertrain person than body/frame expert. And I don't live anywhere near an aircraft mechanic school so that won't work either.
I also don't live in FL. I live in northeast Missouri and I have a Jeep because it gets around good in snow, it's reliable, and I can play around off-road (preferably with snow on the ground) with it. Plus you can't really be considered a real member of my family until you have owned a Jeep. Every person on my dad's side has had at least a couple at various times. My uncle has three (XJ,WJ,WK), my cousin has one (ZJ), my great uncle has one (WK2), my dad replaced his XJ with a truck, my other uncle had a CJ7 for a while...it's a very long list.
