Front Passenger Wheel well?

[epriev]

What is this for in the passenger wheel well? It looks like it could catch the tire at flex and turn?

Tracking device. Remove it asap.

I think I remember it’s supposed to help prevent the front tire from intruding into the passengers footwell in an accident. Don’t remember what year they started adding that.

Passenger side bracket

So I'm installing a 2.5 inch lift on the wife's gladiator and I noticed a large bracket on the outside of the passenger side of the frame just in front of the lower control arm mount. Seems odd, my JL doesn't have it , doesn't seem to protect anything or have anything inside of it. It does hang...

Looks like simply unbolting it will not fix the tire clearance. The is a tab welded to the frame that would need to be cut off. This tab is what looks to be what could rub or cut a tire, not the block bolted to the frame.

Since it is apparently a safety feature there may be liability if you remove it (similar to seat belts). Or it may fail an inspection.

Like adding a lift, or replacing crash tested bumpers, or any modification to your jeep...

When I took mine off. I took all the bolts out but one. The one on the inside. I backed it out as far as I could and cut the head off with a cut off wheel. Then I cut the part off the frame, cleaned it up with a flapper wheel, and hit it with paint.
