what timing belt lot to buy

I drive a 2000 Tacoma v6 4wd manual. I just passed 200k about 3k ago actually but I need to get a new timing belt in there. I'm trying to find the best deal on a timing belt kit. I want OEM but I'm also broke. What are everyone's opinions.

I don't think the kit is THAT much more expensive than buying it at rock auto etc. People don't understand that when you pay for the dealership to replace the belt, their paying for labor also. So if you do it yourself, it's not that much more expensive...if and when you do it, also looking into servicing your throttle body, maf sensor, plugs, etc. Also, just curious, do you have any history on the vehicle, or have you owned it since new?

I usually buy parts from rockauto. Their service and price are good.

For what it is worth even with my discount and Great relationship with my dealer .

Aircabinmen was quite a bit cheaper the only difference is Paypal and pay now or spend more when the statement comes from Toyota
