i was impressed to see

I thought most MJ's had the D44.
 
No idea what Gunter is talking about....... that info isn't correct.

From Wiki / Jeep facts:

"There was also a heavy duty "Big Ton" package (known as the "Metric Ton" package outside the U.S.) for the long-bed models. The package included heavier-duty leaf springs and wheels, larger tires and an upgraded rear axle to a Dana 44 instead of a Dana 35, which increased the stock payload (cargo) capacity from 1,400 to 2,205 pounds (640 to 1,000 kg), well above that of any other mid-size truck. The Big/Metric Ton Comanche's payload rating was higher than that of many full-size pickups."

Most MJ's had the D35. Some towing package trucks had an option for the D44. The Big Ton / Metric Ton trucks had an AMC 20 under the early models, later models all got the D44. The '87-'90 Eliminators all got the D44.
