Most would replace the water pump, thermostat, cam shaft oil seals, crank shaft oil seal, and maybe the axillary belts if they haven't been done in a while. Take a look at the valve cover gaskets as well.
I'd also check the timing belt pulleys and tensioner for wear/noise. It's not the biggest deal on 4Runners because the 3.4L is a non interference motor but might as well check while you're in there.

Depending on dealer/indy, location, and quantity of other parts--price can run $600-$1100--the $1100 being a total dealer rip-off in a high cost area.
Other parts include, roughly in priority order: WP, two idlers, three aux. belts, thermostat, tensioner, rad hoses, cam and crank seals (a must if leaking).
I did it DIY, all except the seals at 120K, for under $300 total, including coolant. I bought the seals but chose not to put them in.
If this is first change, I would do it all, except the seals if they are good, and go back in another ten to twelve years.
EDIT: Not a 5th gen, he's talking about a 2000.
