I've been told they are available, but the person who told me doesn't know the brand. I couldn't get an answer via Google either.I have a Barra turbo in my Maverick, and the belt tends to slip when wet/ dirty/ muddy,etc which isn't ideal when offroad.Any help would be great.

I would just be buying new pulley wheels from supercheap (Gates branded pulleys).Once the tensioner is on the pulley is extremely tight and I would recommend using that belt grip spray in a can sh!t or get a custom gilmer drive made up but that wouldn't do all items running off the engine...
