I can't think of anything major that would come off with the ball joints. Definitely do the lower ball joints if they are suspect at all, inspect tie Rod ends, CV boots, upper ball joints (or get adjustable UCA's if you are lifting), inspect the brake components. Toyota 4 Runner Org website is a great resource, not too much support on mud for this platform.

Check engine light just came on. Any quick thoughts on what that might be? Not used to those working on my vehicles. Starts and runs fine. I'll check the manual when I get home.

Just curious, is it worth buying a diagnostic computor and codes guide?
Computer wouldn't be a bad idea as every car is OBD2 now.
I think Autozone will scan it for free,you can buy an inexpensive code reader online and it will give you some idea what is wrong with it without getting hit with a $150 diagnostic fee.
