I am needing to replace the belt in my 2000 xj. Wanted to get a gatorback but having a hard time finding one... anyone have suggestions of what would be the best belt to get?

 

CONTINENTAL 4060950 is the same as goodyear gatorback, "Goodyear Engineered Products are now branded Continental Elite"
Goodyear gatorback is now called continental elite :

Personally I am running a gates belt for a few years now and am really happy with it

Order the Gatorback off Amazon. Add a Krikit II gauge to your order and set that new belt to 180 to 200 lb ft.

 

Goodyear Gatorbacks now go the name of Continental Elite.

 

x3 (continental elite) cheapest was rockauto for me when I bought one a couple months ago.

The belt tension tool is a good idea, but I've personally always just gone with a quarter turn or half inch of deflection.

 

Just redid my cooling system so I also replaced the belt and idler pulley. Went with this belt.

Adjusted it by letting the vehicle run for a bit. Turned on the A/C and punched the throttle. If the belt squealed I'd tighten the belt a little. And try it again. Kept at it until I had no slipping. Forgot to say that that this is the first time I've used this brand belt. Seems to have taken less adjusting than the previous brand I've used on all my vehicles.
