Any links where I can purchased all the parts or the full timing belt Kit. Thanks in advance

Did this about 2 years ago at Prestige Lexus in Ramsey NJ. 101K miles. The radiator was also leaking (common issue?). For the radiator, water pump, accessory belt, timing belt and thermostat I think we paid ~2K, plus an RX as a rental.

Just had my '06 GX470 (185k miles) done last weekend at a Midas in Centennial, Colorado. Cost was around $1,400 for belt, pump, related parts, and labor. My total bill was $2,100 but that also included replacement of the radiator which had a small leak.

Yes, there is a time element to it as well -- the rubber will decay as it gets old. 9 years or 90k miles, as ALAN553 said.
Get all the parts in that region replaced, as the labor is the expensive part of the bill.

Every time doing oil change or other maintenance, the service adviser ALWAYS recommended repairs in the range of $2k-3k, is that normal? Sometimes, calipers, wheel bearings.. etc

Ask them to show you what's bad about it.
That being said, sticking calipers aren't unknown on the GX, and you should get one looked at (it's nice to be able to stop in a straight line).

Just did my 08 gx470 timing belt, water pump, driving belt at 55000 miles and asked the tech keep the replaced parts. After looking them carefully, I believe they could last another 10 years!!!! They all are in excellent shape!! Feel I just wasted $1500.

My lesson was to follow mileage intervals (90k) and not to worry about time as much.
