'87 is you best bet, but not all of them, infact only a few...teknodestrukto said:

Bolt-in:
One's with the tow package in '87. Best place to look is the XJ Wagoneer. XJ "legend" is that the D44 was available from '87-89.
Easily adapted:
The 8.8 is an acceptable alternative and is arguably stronger. Definitely more readily available and similarly priced. Cut off the perches and move them in slightly. Check your shock brackets and you need a conversion yoke or some driveline work.
A Toy rear seems pretty interesting to me. Available electric locker, but you'll need to run spacers as they're a little narrow and have a 6 on 5.5" bolt pattern.

I'm building a Jeep Speed truck so I have to use stock drivetrain. I have an '89 Limited with the tow package but the rear does not look like a 44 (too small?). Thanks for the input.
i saw a XJ D44 for sale on www.naxja.org the other day. They are pretty pricy though. Good luck they are out there.
