Weird bracket on frame

[KnightWrangler22]

Anyone have idea what this is? On the passenger side of the frame, behind the passenger front tire.
The bracket doesn’t have anything attached to it.

Very stock 22JLUR, 3.6 auto.
Thanks!!

It's an attempt at preventing a roll over when presented with an offset frontal collision.

It's a tire deflector bracket to help them better pass crash tests.

You guys are quick!
Very weird that it’s only on one side

Saw a video the other day of a guy removing that. Was kind of involved because he had to remove the rock rails and also cut the two bolts that face the tub. They were like 4 inches long. Here is link if interested:

You wouldn’t happen to have the link to that video would you? Sounds like it’s not worth the time, but I’m curious. I’ve noticed other Jeeps without it

Thank you!!

And as I could have guessed, almost not worth the hassle to remove it.

thanks again!

Another great "benefit" of a FAD front axle. The axle breaks at the FAD during the crash test sending 1/2 of the axle (w/ the wheel) under the Jeep causing it to flip. Rather than getting rid of the FAD or adding extra support to prevent the axle from breaking at the FAD, they add this to try and prevent the tire from going under the Jeep.

For real!

I just removed this bracket yesterday in preparation for installing rock slide engineering steps. Overall length of the bolt including the flanged head is 6 inches.

Lol. It's junk. I just google "search term JLWranglerforum" and it will give a ton of hits.
