Looks like the heat shield over the catalytic converter. You should put it
back on or you might melt your carpeting.

Looks like a heat shield to me. I'd find its home and put it back on. They
seldom put on parts that are clearly not needed, but they have b een known
to put stuff on that you can get by for a few days without. I'd place this
part in the latter category.

That's what I'm thinking. Get under the jeep and see if there are corresponding
hold-downs just above the cat. If there is then you will need to secure that
shield back on.

Since the holes will be too large you will need to take one of the bolts out
and take the washer down to a hardware store. Get a fender washer or similar
that has the same hole but about another 1/2" in width. You might be able to
fabricate a few out of a tin can if your handy that way.
