110 Chassis Front Rubber Cap Purpose?

[USDefender]

Hi all,


I'm welding and grinding away on my chassis prepping it to be gal'd.


The very front of the chassis was stuffed up with rust so I opened up the very lower front piece to clean and rust convert. I'm closing it up now and wondering what the functionality of this piece is because I'd rather weld a solid plate back over it instead of fabricating a perfect hole for the big rubber plug to go back in.

I use it as my high lift jack point. Same as the 2 holes in the rear.

So I don't need to fabricate the holes in the front?
