Here is the link http://www.sandstuff.com/
I will say I have never used them before and I have heard good and bad about them. It does seem that the people who have had trouble are running high output engines like a turbo Ls1. If you goto glamis dunes forum at http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/ind ... owforum=72 you can do a search on them and read what people have to say.

First i like the looks of that buggy. But my concern is no cross bracing in that cage or maybe i can't see it. But if it's not there and you were to roll it over you have got to have that. jus my .02

Also, bracing in your roof itself adds alot of strength, too. Similar to your bracing on the front end. A brace in the center going across horizontally out of 1.25" pipe, then make an "X" out of 1". It should tie in at each corner of the roof. That would help ALOT, especially with the flat roof. 8)

Interesting, When I spoke with the owner Howe he never mentioned anything about Installing an Internal stop. Only to make sure that the Ram stopped in the same place as the Rack on each end.

Not sure who I talked to there, I just called their number and said I had some tech questions. The guy told me the ram would destroy the rack if all I used were the built in stops of the rack. He told me how to take it apart and what size material to use to build the internal stop.
