It's a lame bracket that Jeep started to install to help protect passengers in a very specific collision. And, it's kind of a pain to remove.

It helps avoid roll-over by preventing the tire from getting tucked under the chassis.
 
It's a added crash bar - to prevent tire intrusion/injury in a very specific small overlap case. Essentially you would have to hit a concrete pole at just the right corner for that thing to even matter.
