It's a rugged little engine, but your probably going to find the 2.5l a bit on the
weak side even with a standard tranny. The 4.0 is basically bulletproof.

While your jeep may be a little underpowered with the 2.5L the good side is
that you're less likely to break a lot of stuff.

Re: How durable is the 2.5L?
ive got a 90YJ with a 2.5 (91)low milage motor,kept my TBI.
30inch tires,
i got stuck in a 3ft,ditch,in snow, drivers side almost on its side,
i beat he crap outa the jeep trying to get out, back and fourth, trying
to get over a hump in the ditch, ended up it was a plugged-culvert,
bent my springs all to crap because i then had shackles,,yeck,,,,
point im making is before i read that the tranny, transfer-case, and
D35 was weak,
and alot of people hate the 2.5, i was doing great,
ive done some light 4weelin, nuthin extream, yet,,ive now got a winch,
2.5 spring lift, so i can get into more trouble,
me i like it,good gas milage on the highway,
and for me plenty of power,
i like it better than my F150 4x4 V8
just watchin how i beat on the drivetrain more closly now,
ive met a couple of other people with em and they like em,
,
just my un-experianced opinion,
