Anything under a V8 is never enough power for anything with 4 wheels.

Been using a 4.3 LTR since 96 works for me but I dont tow anything larger then a fishing boat.

Are you taking about a full size Bronco, or a Bronco 2?  Full size Bronco's use a 300 CID in-line 6 that have lots of low in torque.

for four wheeling it's more than enough power.  My jeep has a little 2.5l 4 banger and it will climb like a goat.  Gears are what you need to be looking at my man.  Gears.

Yes. Gearing matters more than displacement.

Depends on the size of V6.  I had a 2.8L in a Bronco II that was a total dog.  If it is one of the newer high displacement V6's it should be fine.

same here. 93 YJ with 2.5L and 4" lift and 33's. Came stock from factory with 4.11's and it has plenty off torque. Its all in the gears. A v-8 never hurt though.

"enough power?"

What the fuck is "enough" power?  Where I come from there's no such thing!

Uh huh...how about them fuel bills? My Tacoma will get gased up about every 10 days and only costs 35 dollars using premium! I would love to have an 8, but gas is too expensive and a V6 will do alright unless your towing some heavy stuff.
