There is a starter relay/contacts I have heard that stop working. I do not have experience with this, but I have read about them. I believe they are located near the starter, yes in that awesome location.

In the interest of saving some time I picked up a new Interstate battery and a starter relay from the local Toyota dealer. The old relay tested good but I'd rather be sure it's working.
At this point the following are new:
Starter
Starter solenoid
Starter relay
Battery
No change in symptoms with old or the new parts. I wasn't able to do a multimeter test on the starter due to its location and don't feel like taking off the intake manifold in the dark. I'm tight on time this week and need a working vehicle so I'm having it towed to the dealer tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone for their assistance. I'll report back with what the dealer finds.
