just wondering if anyone else makes this or if NGM is the only one as of now. it looks pretty damn beefy

Hmm, I don't think you are even straining your current strut bar, especially with upgraded sway bars.
I dunno, I didn't feel I even needed rear bars but I guess I don't autocross so I wouldn't know. I noticed a big differece from just the front, the front tires stay on the pavement, and that's where your power is. I might be wrong, but it's my opinion.

its not about putting down the power, its about correcting understeer. the less flex and roll you have in the rear, the easier it will rotate and follow the front.
triangulating the rear brace would definitely make it stronger, but theres not a huge amount of stress on that region. doubtful that it would be noticable.

sure if youre worried about your seatbelt mounts not being secured to each other... seems like thats about all it does.

One of those on the front may do some good, but not the back, from my experience. When I installed my front strut brace, it changed the car far more than installing my rear one.
The new Genesis Coupe has one of those for the front struts, it cages all up inside the hood. I would look and see if there's a similar one for the Tibby.

theyre all generally made from tubular steel.
nice piece, it's probably made of pvc though lol
Lolzor reminds me of a guy I saw with a half roll cage made outa exhaust pipe..
It looked cool and thats all he wanted.
