Hey guys. Haven't been on for a bit so I thought I would update.
I ended finding a guy who had a belt tensioner for 20 bucks. Bought it, installed it and now my obnoxious squealing is gone.
I also bought a front fender from him, in the same black, to replace the one I hit the deer with. The door skin split I fixed with a plastic welder I bought. The welder worked awesome.
My side exhaust didn't prove to be much of a problem this winter even with all the snow.

 

Glad you got yourself sorted out. That goes double for your exhaust system ...
