Grand Wagoneer like a full size, or the cherokee one that just has the silly headlights??
If it's an XJ, then it's probably a D35, but could be an AMC 20.
If it's and SJ (full size grand wagoneer) then it's either a D44 or AMC 20.
If it's an XJ, I'd be hoping for the AMC 20.
got a pic? or atleast a description of it?

Does it look like this? If so, it is an AMC 20.

most likely is an AMC 20 with 5 on 5.5 or maybe even 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern.
AMC 20 is a good rear axle if it came with 1 piece rear axle shafts. Some have 2 piece rear axle shafts, which are kinda weak, but can be upgraded. IIRC if you weld the tubes on this axle, it's comparable to a D44. If you can get the matching front axle to go with it (should be a 44) they work great in a YJ. Could be made to go into an XJ aswell.
Unfortunatley, it's probalby got some stupid 2.something gears in it though...
***also, IIRC I believe that real H1 hummers use AMC20 center sections for their diffs.

Yes its an AMC 20 But are their lots aftermarket parts for it like gears, lockers etc... or should I invest in a Dana 44 for my xj

There are aftermarket parts, but probably not quite as much as for the D44. If it's free, and in good shape, it may be worth building. Price the gears and such and compare. If you could get the matching front axle, it would definitely be worth it. Keep in mine, it's not the same bolt pattern as a stock XJ.

If it's off of an SJ after ~1974 then it's got a 6 lug pattern. They were all either 6 or 8 after 74, IIRC
