It all comes down to being ale to afford it. I have never done a toyota, but I know my car was $$$$ I think mine ran about 600 or so. But I would hate to wait and have to fix more because of a broken belt.

I did my timing belt my self and just paid $20 for the new belt and did it in 7 hrs by myself had no problem and now my truck runs better. and it is best to do it before it breaks and causes other problems like WSUWESTON said

the little sticker on mine says 127k miles was when it was changed.
also on the 3.0 it is a none interference motor and if the belt breaks it should not damage the motor you have to worry more if it where the 22 r or 22re they are interference motors.

Stop spreading misinformation. If you don't have a definitive answer to the OP's question, don't post garbage that will only further confuse him.
1. The 3vze timing belt should be replaced every 60k. It's also a good idea to replace the water pump while you're in there.
2. The 3vze is a non-interference engine. A broken timing belt will not damage any other part of the engine.
