^  I already returned the 68 7/8" Gates belt that I bought at NAPA and am planning on possibly trying a 70" belt next per Levi's (yes, Levi) suggestion to me on Car Domain.  I'm still looking for Gates belts, but the Gatorback ones look kinda tempting too.  I know the belt replacement is easy and I could do it no problem, so no need for you to make the trek down my way (that is until I start my fog project or audio build).  I just had my mechanic attempt it last time because my car was already going into his shop for other work anyway.

Should I get a Gatorback? If so what's the part # is it for the gatorback? OEM is like $40 from dealership and its $30 from bernardi but shipping kills the deal for me.

Billy, I bought the Gatorback for about the same price on eBay and I've heard some good things about it. You might want to go that route. I'll let you know when I install mine whenever it gets here.

Lazyness kills. Or does it make you fat? I can't remember.

I'm not dead yet so it's definitely made me fat. Not laziness - didn't make sense though - stealership wanted $25 and change, mechanic wanted $20. I'm not changing the belt for a long, long while, so I said why not.

Yes but if my momeory serves me correctly you need to go toward the rear (j30) to relieve tension. With the right tool this should take all of 20 minutes.

Most likely, but this would be a great thing to look for in the J Series forum. Wink
