    1st-sorry, I meant to send this to Peter directly.

    2nd-mighty small gun, .30 at the most, or a recoiless, or a ATM.
    The turtletop Hummers have a pretty hefty rollbar combined with the kevlar
    top and B-pillars supporting the weapon cupola and a .50 or a Mk19 still
    rock the vehicle bigtime. MATES here just had to replace a turtle top from
    one of the Scout Platoon gunships because the cage and support cracked. So
    if anyone needs a hatchback for their Hummer let me know, this one is
    sitting next to the scrap heap free for the taking. Oh and I picked up a
    dozen 6ton U shackles today and a couple of Hummer Jate rings.
    The Jate rings are rated at 14500 lbs and have a 3" opening. Bolt is the
    same diameter as the leaf springs. So is this a good place to put the Jate
    rings? My other option is to just bolt them on using the receiver pin
    holes. If I do that then the Rover will be truely sling loadable.
