I had side belts made as I kept snapping the green ones.
The standard ones are nylon reinforced polyurathane (cheese) so a glass fibre reinforced rubber belt is much much stronger.
Best thing I ever did to the XX4.
The car's drivetrain is alot more efficient and is really quiet.

I had them made longer so that I could put an adjustable tensioner inside the housing and set the belt the way I wanted it. Tensioner is made from a XXX front axle nd two wheel bearings.

Works a treat.
Next time I have the belt housing open I'll take some pictures..... but you could be waiting a long time - new belt is a "fit'n'forget" type of part.

EDIT: I have 6 of these belts in stock. Will do 1 x belt + 1 x tensioner diagram/parts list (just the diagram, not the tensioner itself as most people have these bits in their spares box) + 1st class post for £9 - pm me
