Heat shield necessary?
 

Is the heat shield attached to the stock muffler necessary? I still have
the heat shield attached to the underside of the tub, but the one attached
to the muffler had to be torn off. The muffler could probably hold out
another month or two without being replaced, as long as that heat shield
isn't critical.

Thanks!

If you go off road, you'll need that shield to keep the weeds away
from the catalytic converter that's running at sixteen hundred degrees,
that's over three times the temperature of a burning cigarette. In
California you will be charged with that forest fire.

It is fine if you stay on the road.

My CJ7 doesn't have a heat shield so I am always aware of the fire
danger.

Long grass or shrubs and a hot muffler can make for a BBQ'd Jeep.

Can you guys start a camp fire without five gallons of gas?
