Timing Belt Question

[osurh923]

I am looking at buying a 1994 Land Cruiser with over 110,000 miles. I am new to the whole Land Cruiser thing so i need to know at what mileage they need their timing belts changed. I would assume somewhere between 90 and 100,000 miles but i would like to be certain. This Land Cruiser has not had the timing belt changed and i would like to know how much it generally costs to have it changed.

you don't need to change the timing belt that you don't have.

your cruiser has a timing chain. no need to replace (under most situations).

1st year of a timing belt in a Land Cruiser is 1998 in the UZJ100

YUP, mine will be getting a new t-belt, tensioners(becuase I got a killer deal on new OEM) and water pump at 90K. So yes its true unless my FSM is wrong or my parts guy lied to me

but remember, untill 93 all gas cruiser had no chain, just a gear

Landpimp? Is that real? the new LC/ LX using belt now? no more chain?? that sad...

I've heard/read the same somewhere as I was researching what year model to buy. Was happy to find my '96 didn't have the 'belt' like my '95 Monty used to have. Cost big coin every time I had to change the belt.
