Make sure your fan pulley is tight. AC bearings check for slop or any pully bearing for that matter.
Also make sure your belt isn't to tight

Do all years of the 4.0 have the manual belt tensioner? I know my 00 does, I didnt know how tight it should be so I left it too loose.

Yeah my renix has like 6 bolts on that fker... maybe a minor exaggeration

All XJ 4.0s have manual belt tensioners. I think WJs and TJs had autos.

the 4.0 likes the belt pretty tight, but not excessively tight. just pretty darn

Thats what I thought... I had this problem when i was a Jeep noob (still am). I took it to the dealer and they charged me to tighten it more.
