My advice would include doing the stuff that is in the coolant. Good to change at 100k anyway. Option really, all depends on $$$ and your priorities
You really want to change the water pump since it is making noise. And since the fan clutch has to come off to get to the water pump......and is ticking.
You could put off the thermostat for a while, or change it while the coolant is out. Thermostat is not as easy to get ago as in some cars. My thermostat was good for 140k, which is about how long my water pump lasted.
Pulley and tensioner are pretty easy to change. I just changed the pulley on the tensioner, not the whole thing. It started to make noise. Not too pricey.
I have a new belt for the xt, ordered wrong one. I should sell it. Guess I will have to take a photo. Perhaps tomorrow.
