What is this for?

What is the big bracket for?
Got my first wrangler in july (2024 willys jlu). One thing that has puzzled me and I have wondered if it was a mistake and a piece left on from factory. Maybe something to hold vehicle on assembly line and removed later but wasn't. Then I saw it in this video on another.

Crash structure. Added to block passenger wheel from coming up and back in crash testing.

You can remove it but from what I gather it is a bit of a PITA.

ok cool thanks guys! Appreciate simple answers without being flamed for not searching for past threads. I didn't know what to even type in for search keywords?? figured it would be quick and easy answer. This thread can be deleted should mods want to clean up things.

Is this just on the passenger side? I noticed it on my '24 Rubi but haven't looked at the driver side. I am still recovering from a head on collision where the driver foot well crushed and shattered my foot in a '23 rubi. This little doodad on the driver side would have saved me a lot of PT

It’s only on passenger side for some reason

Well this is what happens to the driver side. Note the brake pedal against the right side fire wall.
