I guess it's just an extra support for the inner fender. I've removed it from every XJ I've ever put a front bumper on.

I just cut the bottom off and left the top due to i have a few wires zip-tied to it. They are useless i'm sure.

Mounted them to the bumper on one Jeep, took them off one Jeep and on the 3rd Jeep I just cut the bottom of that bracket loose and bent it up and out of the way and left it there.

Electric fan isn't working. I tested the fan itself and it's still good. Where do I look from here?
The guage on the inside is reading the correct temp btw

Swap the relay with a known good relay and just look at the fuse with your eyeballs.

Does your A/C work?

Yes I will try that but how do I know if the fan comes on the jeep isn't close to overheating?

How do you know it's not working?

Does it run hot?

Go turn the a/c on wide open on defrost and check to see if the fan comes on. It should kick on every time the compressor runs.

On 1999 the fan will come on as soon as the A/C compressor is engaged. You can use Defrost mode (if it's warm out where you are) as well as any of the A/C modes to do that
