How many different belts?
I have a 1999 3rd generation 4Runner SR5V6 that has 81,000 miles on it.
I am taking it to the dealer for a timing belt and water pump replacement, and am wondering what other belts there are that can/should be replaced at this time?
What other belts would you recommend that I change at this point? What other belts are there on this V6 engine?
Thanks in advance for your help.

What are these three other belts? Yes, I do have A/C.

Crank --> AC
Crank --> PS / FAN
Something like that anyway.
Just take a look under there, you can see what each one does.

60k interval is way too conservative. I think 90k is more reasonable/realistic.

90k is fairly conservative also. Plenty Camrys and Corollas rolling around with 200k on original belts.

If I were to make a bet, I'd bet that even at 120k your original belt will be fine. You live in an area with good weather for all rubber things. Ultimately you need to make the decision if a few hundred dollars now are worth more than possibly being stranded somewhere in the future.
