Midwesterners,
There is an 87 XJ Wagoneer that has a trailer hitch and some massive drum brakes at Wrench N Go in Des Moines, Iowa. I looked underneath it and it appeared to have a D44. I couldn't tell if it was for sure but to me it seemed to bulge out more than a 35 and it did have the screw in drain plug (which most 35s didn't). There is a good chance too since it's an 87. I thought I would throw this out to you folks. If it wasn't so nasty in Iowa right now I would go pull it and sell it to make a quick $200-$300 but I am one lazy SOB right now. IIRC WNG gets $100 or $125 for an axle so this would be a potential to make some serious money. As I said, I'm not positive on this one, I should've taken a camera with me to snap a picture and of course I wasn't thinking about a cell phone, but me and my buddy were both very confident it was not a 35; I am familiar with what a 20 and a 8.25 look like and they wouldn't have been offered in those years anyway.
