Bastian; I know, my intent is to frame it. It may end up being *stronger*. Or at least equal.

Lane; Please do!!!

You can actually buy a turret, cannon and all kinds of military hardware from the DND auctions. They usually weld the barrel or some how de commission the gun but it still as real looking as it get’s for cheap. My neighbour actually has an APC tank he drives around all the time. I’ll take some pictures of it and send them to you.

Keep in mind that contrary to all the vehicles you pictured with turrets added to them which are body-on-frame constructions, whereas your Jeep is a unibody, and the roof is an integral part of it. Cutting it up would result in great loss of strength – bad idea…

Unfortunately in Canada I can’t even mount a replica gun. Best I can do is a Nerf gun. (Not sure if those are even legal in the UK ;))
