What is this bracket? 2022 Rubi

[Sstockton]

Long time Jeep owner, new Gladiator owner here. I haven’t seen this before, just a large bracket attached to the frame rail on front pass side, nothing bolted to it. Has a few bolts going into the frame rail. Possible something was attached at one point? Wanting to remove it, I just want to know its purpose. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Crash protectant. Stops the passenger side tire from coming into the cabin during a head on or offset frontal crash.
