Searching will give you almost all the answers you need. If it can be done to a 4r it's already been talked about and explained.

$600 to $1500; I've seen all ranges throughout the years. Most are below $900.

I should be more clear looking for just labor costs

Our vehicles should be timing belt 101. It is very easy with little experience. Around 250 to 300 for parts and a day of tinkering. Average in a case of beer and have at it. There are plenty of YouTube videos to walk you through it. It's not bad at all.

To DIY, you need a crank pulley wrench and tensioner tool. The pulley wrench can be made if you know how to weld. To buy both costs a little over $100 on Amazon. My Toyota independent mechanic quoted me $300 labor.
