I have 3x 76mm pulleys and I’m maxed out on a brand new mopar tensioner. Think it’s time to look for a shorter belt.

I'm not positive but judging by the dirt it would appear I replaced the stock. So I likely used both oro sent instead of just the one. The tensioner is about half way through its travel.
Mine was really hard to get over when I first installed it. After 100 miles the belt stretched a bit though it feels normal. I couldn't tell you if that's good or bad.

Oh thank god. No big stupid reflective logo. I was honestly worried.

Let’s give this a try. Had the hardtop on for 6 years.
These also came in the mail. I’m at 109k so probably a good time to change them.

Super clean! Point deduction for the door sill protector protrusion. JK.

Nice. I just ordered the next size smaller belt from Napa. Just need a new power steering pump and I can see how it fits.Just switched to the 76mm, much better fit and tensioner is about halfway through its travel

So I’ll share this story here. On my way out to Moab, about 2 hours from town, my rig threw a CEL and went into limp mode. I limped into town and checked into my Airbnb and went to bed. The next day I went to the orielly and used the scanner and had a P0344, camshaft position sensor intermittent. I checked all the wiring and pulled the sensor and cleaned it and put it back and no more code. 
since there was no more code and no limp mode I went wheeling. I Wheeled all week with @Alex01 @DylanM345 @Daryl @JMT @Midnight LJR @taylormade73 with no problem.
Had an absolutely amazing experience. I learned a lot about my rig and myself. Then on the last day the CEL reared it’s ugly orange glow again. @Midnight LJR , @taylormade73 came over to help me out and @DrDmoney lent me his code scanner. P0344. For safe measure I ordered a new camshaft position sensor at the beginning of the week so I replaced the sensor and the rig threw a P0016, camshaft position sensor out of sync with crankshaft position sensor and a P0344. I called @mrblaine who walked me through some trouble shooting steps of rotating the OPDA. Reset the codes and test drove it. No code. Loaded up the jeep for the long drive home and went to bed. Got up early and hit the road, after a half hour at highway speed P0344 came back. After some sensor trouble shooting and some chatting with @mrblaine I decided to tow it home. @taylormade73 and his wife drove me an hour outside of Moab in the opposite direction they were traveling to get me to my uhaul, thanks guys! Then once I got my uhaul I drove another 3 hours to get the trailer, then back to Moab to load the jeep. Whaddya know the provided ratchet straps don’t fit. They were the over the tire type. Bought straps, loaded her up and drove through the night back to San Diego. Once back in San Diego I had a new Mopar camshaft position sensor waiting for me and a new Crown OPDA. With some instructions from @mrblaine and @taylormade73 I got the motor to TDC and installed my new OPDA with high hopes. Now the jeep won’t even start. I checked the wiring looking for shorts, nothing. Got the jeep loaded on a flatbed tow truck and sent it up to Blaine. He can describe what he did better than I but he and his helper trouble shot the rig for 7 hours. Checked all the wiring, checked the connectors, repositioned the new OPDA, even swapped pcms. Finally after all that Blaine swapped the crankshaft position sensor. Fixed. Makes perfect sense, a camshaft position sensor code for a bad crankshaft position sensor. A million times thanks to those who helped me out with this and to @mrblaine for not getting frustrated with me and fixing the weird issue and building a rig I have more fun learning about and driving each and every day.
