Does 00' XJ come stock with heat shield?

My XJ has no heat shield protection under the floor pans. I have seen some diagrams with what looks like heat protection mounted underneath. Im wondering if I should be adding these to protect the passenger floor pan from the converter and exhaust heat?
 
I got one at a Pick your Part from a ZJ and installed it over the entire length of the exhaust. It fit the XJ very well and reduced the interior/floor heat.

You are referring to the one between the exhaust and the floor are you? That is the one I am referring to.
 
When stock heat shields are not available, I use double layer aluminum baking sheets.
They come in a variety of sizes and are available at Target, BBB, Walmart and any store that sell cooking gear.
I sometimes find them in the kitchen, when the wife isn't looking.
They are bendable, can be cut to fit and are a lot more durable than a stock shield.
 
Yup.
