Re: How do can I remove the fan belt from 2000 TJ 4.0L
Matt! Will you pick up your TJ belt tensioner and waltz out to your V10
and see that it's exactly the same and in the same location? Maybe,
reach in there and pull on the belt and watch the tensioner pull back:

Re: How do can I remove the fan belt from 2000 TJ 4.0L
Actually it's not exactly the same, as the alternator on the Triton is
directly above the water pump, between the cyl heads, and on the 4.0L the
tensioner doubles as the alternator mount. The Triton tensioner is on the
passenger side, at least.
But it's still irrelevant since the OP has the Jeep 4.0L engine, not a Ford.

Being able to pull the belt off by hand is relevant, Matt. Did you
even try?
According to the drawing your TJ "was" on the passenger side, too:

Re: How do can I remove the fan belt from 2000 TJ 4.0L
The Triton engine compartment is a little too high and tight to try to take
the belt off just for you, Bill. :-) Besides, it's getting cold out there.
I can't take the belt off by hand on the TJ anymore. Have to loosen the air
compressor bolts and slide it toward the valve cover a bit.
When I took the belt off to install the Kilby (only time I needed to take
the belt off up to that point) I was able to easily pull it off. Don't
recall if I used a tool to loosen the tensioner or did it by hand.
