Can't give you prices as I live in Austin but, most people from the Houston area use Duggy's Garage. I believe he's even on Tacomaworld. Might cost a bit more but, the dealer usually doesn't do more than just the timing belt/water pump. The thermostat was a different bid.
I went to a Land Cruiser specialist place where they changed TB, all tensioners, WP/thermostat, fuel filter, missing something else. They used the AISIN kit you can buy on amazon (you can provide to save money) but, they were about $300 more than the dealer which, again only did the TB/WP
