2 pullies
My 84 fj60 had the same. I found out the other pully was for a winch.

one of my belts broke off, ended up driving like that for over a month with no problem

Think water pump as well.
Not sure, but Toyota is a world leader in Lean Six Sigma and process improvements. I am sure it is vital, if they could have designed it to use only one belt, they would have. If you look at the process flow diagram of how the production line operates, each parts takes X amount of time to install, when you look at leaning out a process, you look at which part takes the longest to install, then determine what needs to be done to reduce the cycle time.
Its a fail safe, one fails you still have the other. 
Super cheap too. $6.21 MUD price for the belt set.
Yup, can't beat that. And quiet. IMO you can't go wrong with buying these and the A/C belt as part of your PM since its pretty cheap for LC parts and removing the idler pulley if yours makes noise. Makes the engine real quiet. Good time to modify your fan clutch too.
Yep. I sell it all almost every day. The belts are less than $20 total and the idler is only ~$45. There are a lot of things that are pretty cheap and easy to fix on the 80s. PCV/grommet for less than 8 bucks... valve cover gasket... fuel filter... throttle body gasket...
Easy to get a big list pretty quick.Don't forget. Sam's pricing is based on how hard they are to install. The cheaper the parts the harder they are to install. Exception to the belts and supercharger. Ask him how much the oil pump gasket and crank seal cost. 
Sams another great vendor to deal with here.

The dual belt design does two important things.
It cuts the load on the drive belts in half and it doubles the drive contact surface.

Hey man! You're letting out all my secrets!!!
If there are two belts normally, then yes.
Make sure to remove the chunks of the broken belt.
Turn off the engine before you try to remove the bad belt.
Thanks mate
Toyota originally had their hilux, landcruiser and Hiace diesel with this configuration because the alternator had the brake vacuum unit that drives the brake booster. S you can magine if one belt brakes what will happen. Many says to get two belts from the same batch (which I never get to buy) other wise the belts wear out faster or hard to keep the tension on both belts same.
Assuming of course that they are the same size and on the same sets of pulleys.Thanks mate
Yeah from what I can see the 2 are the exact same
