Anytime I’ve done or seen a Toyota timing belt done at the recommended 90k it looks like it has plenty of life left.
I've never seen a Toyota or Lexus have a belt failure. The other components idler(s) and water pump are usually the cause of catastrophic timing failure.
We have these (T+H) on the Rav4. No complaints. Quiet, good in the rain, comfy, inexpensive when on sale. Tread life isn't 80k or whatever the warranty number is, not by a long shot, but what tire ever hits that? They'll need replacing around 55-60k, at which point I'll get the Defender 2.
Wix filters are high quality and affordable, usually get those on amazon.
The most popular setup on the [FJ Forum](https://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/) is the Blistein 6112 up front and 5160s in the rear. This is for good reason, when it comes to bang-for-buck the 6112's are hard to beat.
and $500 for a new throttle body that I replaced myself, took less than 10 minutes
Brake pads - $90 for parts
I did my FJ’s oil change for the first time myself a few weeks ago. All the aftermarket filters seem to not be as good as OEM, and they cost more. Got mine from the dealer, with the gasket, for under $9
Calipers started to stick. Charcoal canister solenoid failed. EGR diaphragm failed. Defrost/mode motor failed. Mice built a nest in the valley of the v6 motor, and moisture from the nest damaged the knock sensors.
Purchased wildpeaks for my Tacoma since they seem to be popular. First time I drove with them, right away I noticed how bad the vibration was throughout the whole cab. Went back to discount tire and they rebalanced and road forced. Been there about 5 times now and I am about to give up on them.
