the timing belts should be changed at 60-70k. There are thousands of broken timing belt stories over the last 2 decades with the 4G63 by people trying to get 100k from them. Once the belt breaks you will bend valves at the minimum and you will realize that being lazy and cheap wasn't smart.

i'm at 63k with no issues but i also baby my car most of the time....just installed a new clutch/pp/flywheel but the 60k service is next on my list. If you have the funds and the time i would suggest you do it just to be on the safe side and have some peace of mind

u do not need to replace water pump at 60K, but you u need to replace ur sparkplugs per manual.
i just done mine at 62K, things u need to change per manual.
timing belt :at the time of replacement my old timing belt looks as good as new
drive belt :at the time of change drive belt looks worn out LOL no teeth is missing
serpentine belt : I skipped it at 30K at the time of replacement its cracked but no teeth missing
trans fluid
transfer case fluid
differential fluid
cabin filter : its moldy and dusty..i used fabreze to clean it every 10K,
sparkplugs : the old sparks look worn out but healthy still..they show strong and healthy engine on all cyls
coolant
engine oil and filter.
hope its clear things up for the confusions, if u got burning hole in ur pocket go ahead replace ur water pump otherwise not needed
