Very well-built for what I paid, and handles unbelievably well. Just enough utility to it to be useful. Got it out the door with A/T transmission for $14,100 with 3 miles on the odometer.
I just wish it wasn't so bloody slow, you know?

As for your questions, here is a link to answer both:

Excellent write-up!! You will need a service manual and the special crank shaft pulley holding tool so you can remove the crank shaft pulley bolt and to retorque it.

Very nice. That's exactly the kind of thing I've been searching for. I was starting to get scared that I'd be the one to make a write-up on my first 5VZ-FE timing belt swap. You just saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks.

While you're at it, consider replacing these:
1. Thermostat & Gasket
2. Cam Shaft Seals (X2)
3. Main Crank Seal
4. Radiator Hoses (upper/lower)
5. Accessory Belts - Alt, AC, Pwr Steering
6. Changing oil cooler hoses
Hope this helps.

I bought the accessory belts because mine were cracking and worn. 80,000 miles on the truck.

Uh-oh. What are the horror stories? I bought a Bosch water pump and Dayco belts from Pep Boys. Figured they'd be good enough, as the 4Runner does Minivan Duty more than anything else.
Thanks for the help!
