The belt tensioner is located at the bottom of the power steering pump looking at it from the front the tensioner is on the bottom left. you could always loosen the alternator up a little.
My 1997 with a 4.0 does not have a tensioner pulley, and I believe the 99s are the same. the alternator is the tensioner. Remove one of the bolts and it will swivel in and you can get the belt off

How do you replace a serpentine belt in a 2000 jeep wrangler?
This applies to the L6 4.0L 2000 Jeep Wrangler. In the middle of the belt tensioner located below the alternator there is a 1/2 inch square hole. Insert the square end of a 1/2 inch breaker bar or socket wrench into the hole and turn the tensioner clockwise as far as it will go. The belt will easily slip of the idler below the tensioner. Not that the hole is between the bearings in the center of the tensioner arm. This is not documented in the Jeep service manual.

Your belt is probably stretched or the tensioner is weak. Try a new belt, or replacing the tensioner. If it is still loose get a 1/2 inch smaller belt.
