Here a some of the OG parts that came off.
Not bad at all for and OG owner 04 that never been at the dealer. DIY oil changes at 3, 4 or 5k miles. The cheapest gasoline
possible. THATS TOYOTA FOR YOU. GREAT STUFF!














Broken spring on the radiator cap.

So you are going to replace the TB and water pump yourself?

Simmer down, there is no need to get snippy. I glanced at your pics on my phone and for a sec I thought you were holding two timing belts and thought that you were doing the work yourself.

no doubt toyota builds some major wiggle room into the timing belt schedule. covering their bases on the most severe service, probably more for the Tundra..water pump is more likely to go first.
