Welcome, and congrats!

Check out when the timing belt was last changed on your car. Are there any records available? Check the Lexus records for your VIN online here.

I believe the job needs to be done every 80k miles, so it should have been done again around 160k miles in.

If all is well, you shouldn't have to change it for about another 40k.

Should you decide not to change the timing belt, it is not a big deal if it snaps. You could be stranded, but the UCF10-UCF11 (1990-1994) models have non-interference engines. This means that the pistons don't move into the area where the valves are, so nothing will get destroyed if the belt snaps.

I believe the 1UZ-FE became an interference engine starting in 1995(?). Someone correct me, if I'm wrong. I've never been sure about that fact.
