timing belt for 2002 3.4 v6 4x4 tacoma

hey could i get away with 100k with the timing belt? i know it says 90k but if i can get 100k that would be awesome.. its on the road a lot esp on highways and very little offroading (cant afford to fix if broken haha).. what do you guys think? i was going to change the belt, drive belts, and water pump at 100k miles.. anyone have any break on them?

I've heard several different mileages, but my new one had it changed at 122K. Another couple trucks I looked at had them changed between 108K and 135K. Now, these are just trucks I've looked at, and went by wait the maintenance stickers said. I've also heard that 5VZEs are not an interference motor, meaning if you break one, your just stranded, but I am not 100% positive on that.

Summation, my gut feeling is change it around 100K to 120K, but thats not based on practice, rather just feeling.

Also, I've been told its best to change the water pump at the same time.
