One issue that does come up on that engine is that different belt makers number the belts differently and that is the belt most likely to cause an issue. Some measure the inside some the out. If you are at the end of the adjustment fit the next size smaller belt.
Most 4jg2s have an adjuster on the end of the ark for the alternator which makes life much easier.
First loosen the 2 bolts on the bottom of the alternator then loosen the bolt through the alternator to the ark.
If you have the adjuster use this to tighten the belt If not remove the battery then use a tyre leaver or long screw driver to lever the alternator away from the block and with it tensioned do up the ark bolt.
Tighten all loosened bolts job done have a cold beer (or warm if you prefer)
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
