For the lower control arms, you’ll need to buy the Toyota parts, which are expensive ($600-700). That being said, they’ll likely last you another 100K versus a crap aftermarket option. Also they come with lower ball joints and bushings installed already. Easy swap since it’s been a Cali truck depending how much time you spent in Minnesota.

As for the UCA the JBA’s seem to be a good option if you need a mainly OEM replacement and replaceable ball joints.

For the fluid flushes, why not? They’re all easy, even the transmission if you do it via the radiator line. The brakes are super easy to bleed on these cars with a friend pumping the brakes. Radiator is easy enough, just a bit time consuming.

All of this work can be done in your driveway with basic hand tools. Nothing scary or technical. Good luck!
