Timing Belt question

Hello people,

I bought a 98 ltd 4Runner almost 4 months ago. I forgot to ask the pervious owner when did he changed the timing belt.
Now I cant get hold of him. The 4Runner is running great with no problems at all and has almost 180 miles on it.
I was wondering is there anyway I can tell if I need timing belt replacement?
I was thinking of doing the tranny oil and all other oil changes on the next service due and also wanted to do timing belt if it has not been done yet.
If I am doing timing belt what other things would you recommend to replace at the same time?

Tx to all.

You can take off the plastic cover on the front of the engine, take a look at the belt, I was told mine was done but I looked at it it was pretty old. You can do the water pump and acc belts while you have it apart.
 
The TB should be replaced every 90k anyways and the water pump changed every other time. If you are at 180k I would think you should be close to the time anyways.
 
I just replaced the timing belt, water pump, tensioner and all the belts for 800. It'd be cheaper than that if you do the work yourself.
