Weird Frame Piece...

[dayusmc]

So I didn't know what section to post this, so I figured post it here...
The attached picture shows an extension piece that is bolted to the frame. I remember reading about it on the gladiator forum, but can't remember what this piece is.
Does anyone know what this piece is for and if I can just take it off? It is a 2022 JLU High Tide.

It was added to reduce the risk of rollover in passenger side impacts. People remove it because it hangs down, I figure you are asking for an insurance nightmare in an accident But if all your Jeep does is wheel then up to you.

It's too keep the passenger wheel from jamming up into the well and cause a rollover. I think...

I wonder if you can make some sort of quickish release for off-road?

 

[dayusmc]

Thank you for the explanation.

I wonder why they didn't add it to both sides ..

So you have less stuff to take off after you buy it.
