That's a gates timing belt which is a high quality aftermarket belt. It is not OEM and has been replaced. It looks like it was replaced at around 100k miles which is spot on.
I recently changed a 22 year old timing belt with 230,000 miles from a Lexus gs 400
My 96 Camry 265k has the original belt and pump.
I was in a similar situation on my LS430. I saw the sticker under the hood that was done 130k miles prior to the current mileage. The belt was perfectly fine and had most likely been replaced since. If it’s a genuine Aisin/Toyota belt it’s probably still good. I’ve seen these go far and beyond 10yr/100k mile mark
the oem toyota belts can do 200k miles no problem. Even if the truck is almost 20 years old.
You could use a Gates timing belt, they're great quality.
I 2 late 90s four runners and ran them to 280000 on the original timing belts then I sold them and they still where running fine.
Was able to get the new belt installed with a little less tension but still less than 90* of flex. It till popped a tiny bit during crank rotation, but I decided to go with it, have driven it for about an hour or so, put it through a couple heat cycles all while checking it every 15 ish minutes. First couple times I checked it, it was kinda tight, last couple times I checked it, it felt ok, so idk.
My preference over the past 25 years is ALWAYS OEM/Genuine whenever possible:
BMW - Continental
Ford/Domestic - ACDelco, Continental
I have had repeated problems with GATES fitment, stiffness, and longevity. 7 of the last 10 snapped timing belts I've pulled from cars have been GATES.
I’m looking at you all you cheap fucking Honda timing belts. Gates/oem or go fuck your mother.
