I just did this on my truck. I am in San Diego. A local shop I trust quoted me ~$1700 to do the timing belt, seals, pump, etc. Did not include cam seals on my VVTI truck. I ended up doing this myself. I did replace the crank seal but left my VVTi cam seals in place. they were not seeping or leaking at 180k miles.
I see frequent posts about delaying timing belt replacement from the appearance of the timing belt being removed. Almost always there are a number of other parts being replaced at that time. It is not simply a timing belt replacement. Water pump in particular is important since its driven off the timing belt but checking bearings on idlers/pulleys while you are in there are also important. A seized pump, idler, etc can leave you by the side of the road or possibly break or strip a belt. A bad tensioner can allow for jumped timing. All those things get replaced when you do the belt. Not preaching, just trying to add to the conversation.
