The only problem with that plan is that a HMMWV squad carrier roof is either vinyl or fiberglass. The up-armored ones (which only became prevalent in the late 1990s for Balkan peace-keeping missions and were rare outside there) had aluminum armored roofs.
But cool idea!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
