No major work done on it yet? You have been keeping up on the oil changes every 3000 miles? No heavy pulling or over revving? You could get another 100,000 miles on it. Chances are that the timing chain guides are getting very worn out tho. They will most likely need replacement in the next 50,000 miles. Same with the seals around the valves. I am at 355,590 on mine. I just had everything done on it. Also don't forget the transmission and gear boxes. If you havnt done so I suggest you change the oils in them as well.
So if you have the V6 with a belt drive you don't need worry about the chain guides. But the belt might need to be looked at and see how its doing. Also check the under carriage. Rust is a killer. I have an 86 Toyota 4 runner that I cleaned underneath and then sprayed with an undercoating several years ago. It is still looking good. I just am going to retouch it up this summer.
