Curious what your advantage is over the alutec brace (obviously different material construction) which comes in at a cheaper price point:

Or, for a slightly larger price point, the 4 point ultra racing brace?

Thanks for the reply man.

I didn't know you could still buy the Alutec brace. Our brace is going to try to fix a few issues that I see with that brace, mainly being the area of space that it takes up. We are going to give access to the spare while trying our best to avoid any cutting on the interior, where as the Alutec doesn't. I also checked the shipping on the Alutec, and it was $30, which resulted in the total being $150; the same as our brace currently.

The same point of spare access can be made for the Ultra Racing brace too. As far as the 4 point bracing, that is superior, but it only utilizes 2 of the 4 bolts in the rear.

Ultra doesn't list any of the materials that they are using, but I believe our brace will be stronger/thicker than theirs. I've talked with a few people who make braces, and my father who is a machinist, and they said that 11 gauge tubing is pretty substantial for the brace.
