I got an Aisin(Toyota) Timing belt kit off ebay. All you need is to get a tensioner from the dealer or online. Pretty good deal since it comes with both pulleys, IIRC which are $50 each from the dealer.

Or you can get this complete OEM kit which includes the seals, tensioner and drive belts.

The Aircabinman package looks like a good deal. The I4 package is about $185.

I bought the Aisin component kit from Rock Auto (part number TK002) and put it in about 17K miles ago. Price right now is $107.95.
