Weird bracket on frame

[No IFS]

That bracket is very confusing because it’s mounted on the passenger side, but they do the offset crash test on the driver side without the bracket.

What mods does it interfere with?

I'm just worried that the 6 inch bolt also connects to something else and is leaving it unsupported. I haven't looked up under there to know though.

Had the same thought. But don’t have mine to look at yet. LOL

From re-watching the video, it looks like those bolts go through 4 inches of empty space inside the bracket and then just a couple of inches into the frame

It's been in a few threads on here for a couple of months.

It's Thursday. That's the official day to ask this question.

I’ve noticed other Jeeps without it

They started installing that bracket on passenger side only of the JL/JLU and JT during the '22 MY.

I thought Thursdays were for asking if 35s fit stock?

Is there a search function?!

Not a good one.

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:

Lol, that's kinda wild seeing a photo I took being used as the preview for this particular video. Helpful video, though!

This bracket might have something to do with crash ratings for footwell intrusion ?
Ford left a bracket off the passenger side, that was on the drivers side, and that car failed the footwell intrusion test miserably. That $10 bracket lack cost them millions

It's Jeep giving back to the off-road shops who will be chopping these off left and right to clear tires, for an extra couple bills.

I wonder if the part can be easily retrofitted to 2021 and older JL-gen Wranglers. There's likely a few owners who might be interested in this particular flavor of uparmoring their Jeeps for a bit of add'l. safety.

@AFD -- Depending on how you want to play it, you could make a claim for attribution, and/or remuneration, from the monetized channel owner who used your image without prior approval. His constant use of clickbait titles makes it plain he's chasing that revenue. Just a passing thought.

Did you send it to him?

 

[AFD]

Did you send it to him?

I did not. Just posted it here and he used it as his video preview without asking.

Pretty sure that's Matt from Susquehanna CDJR, who's also a member here, so really not sure why he didn't use a pic from his own dealership or bother to ask my permission ?‍
