I had mine done at 76,000, 7 years ago. The cost then, at the dealership, was $912.07 and included all the mentioned parts. You want it done right. If you are not the original owner you can go to the Toyota site, create an account, enter you VIN and see what service has been done at an authorized dealership.

The V8 is an interference engine. That means the valves are in the cylinders when the pistons aren't. If the timing belt brakes the pistons will hammer the valves into the cylinder walls and header; not pretty.
