stop putting used rubber bans on it that you got off that newspaper that has been lying in the front yard for 3 weeks.

they are repco belts

Try some genuine ones they are probably not much dearer.
You should allways run matched belts when they are pairs the same size.

yes i got the 2 at the same time

does it always break the same belt? if so front or back one?
Are they too tight?

Take your belts off and see if you have a little dent or fine crack in one of the pullys.

you could just get a decent truck BJ.... thro that ole thing away.

brakes both the f and back no cracks or dents u can talk mech man who towed whos rig out with broken springs last trip

If none of the pulleys have burs on them I would look if there is anything loose that can hit the belts, is the battery dripping acid on them when 4wding. And did you buy all the same brand of belt from the same supplier, could be a faulty batch of belts.
Have you found a broken belt, is it frayed or a clean break?

This is all assuming that you have made sure that all the pulleys are all in alignment.

how tight at you tensioning them, have you uses a striaghtedge and string line to make sure pulleys are perfectly in line,
