I've read that Bando is an OEM supplier of belts to Toyota.

How many miles on the rig?
Last 3.0 V6 had 140,000 on the oem Mazda belt when I finally swapped it. Thing litteraly showed no wear but it wasn't driving the water pump either.

Mitsuboshi (MBL) and Bando are the two main manufacturers for belts on Toyota/Lexus vehicles.

Just shy of 70K miles the belt was starting to show cracks on the ribs. It could of probably made it another few more thousand miles.
