Does anyone know what type of exhaust heat-shield was present on Cherokees
around 1990? Mine gets pretty warm on the passenger's floor near the tunnel.
I assume the CAT & exhaust may not be shielded properly anymore. I was going
to attempt to add some heat shield insulation from JC Whitney to see how
much it might help, or am I better of adding a metal shield to the CAT,
etc.?

That's totally normal as far as I know. Our 88 gets really hot there
and if you remove the carpets in the Wranglers, they have a heat
warning sign on the tunnel even.

Dana, that's normal... in fact when I installed my new 16 gauge floor, I
formed a trough in it to catch the bacon drippings.

I just took a look under my neighbor's Cherokee and there is no heat
shielding for the converter or the muffler. It might be worthwhile to put
some in there.
