Those are just captured nuts connected to a steel piece. It’s so you don’t have to hold the nut with a socket or pliers. The connected steel part is to aid in putting it on the bolt. They have a hole on each side so you can see and guide the nut so it connects to the nut properly. With the body on frame construction, these are common.

I painted black, the part that is visible when you side view the JL. Also painted the muffler and tailpipe which also stand out like a sore thumb.

I have a granite crystal JLU Rubicon with tan leather seats and the 8.4 screen and I freaking love this thing. It has changed my life. I still love the jk I have but, the JLU is my first Rubicon and I’ve owned 5 Jeeps. An 85 CJ 7, 1994 YJ, 2004 TJ, 2016 JK, and now my new best friend my JLU Rubicon. They also didn’t start making Rubicon’s until 2003.

Used a cutoff wheel on the Metabo and got rid of the tab that was hanging down
