3.0 td Timing belt and tensioner

[cece_s]

Hello guys, I need some advice: should I replace timing belt and tensioner for my runner 3.0 .
I recommend the original Toyota or aftermarket?
The price is very different, there are lots of offers on ebay.
Thanks

My twopenneth would be a decent known make.

Gates, Blueprint or something similar - I'd be scared to put unknown quality parts in where a breakage costs thousands.

Stay away from Ebay.........We always fit genuine Toyota but the price is the same here for genuine as it is for aftermarket......

Gates make the Toyota timing belts, so if you can get one cheaper than the Toyota one, use it. NTN, I am fairly sure, make the tensioners, but I have found, down here anyway, Toyota usually are cheaper for these than aftermarket.

The genuine tensioners are NTN
