search for heat shield, air bake, and cookie sheet. you can also use a late model stock heat shield

Wow, could be my problem...I recently even flushed the radiator...did your engine overheated when rad was plugged ? Mine doesn't...any easy way you might think to find out if my rad is plugged ? Thanks
 
Check to see if the muffler is too close to the floor pan, I had the same thing and replaced the muffler and moved it as far back as I could under the rear set and the problen was solved.
 
I put an airbake cookie sheet between the cat and the floor, solved my problems.
 
The heat in my XJ ended up being the cutout for the shifter, I got an ax-15 and the seal where the shifter comes in was gone, it still had the shifter boot, but the other one was just letting hot air blow right in. I fixed that and put some heat padding I got a roll from pep boys and it helped out a lot.
