It has a timing chain; not belt. So you won't have to change anything but the accessory belt which shouldn't be too hard.

Also, spark plugs should last at least 60k. Maybe even 120k if the new Denso Iridiums Toyota uses can handle the higher output. In other words, you won't be changing them very often. And as other people have pointed out, it looks like you can take the front wheels off to access the spark plugs so that should be fairly easy.

Anyway, I'm glad we got these shots. This is just what I wanted to see. But I wish he would have taken more close ups of the individual parts. I want to know who makes each component like the shocks and pistons.
