All kinds of problems (I need parts!)

I went wheeling last night at Chew's Ridge and was messing around in the snow. All of the sudden my locks started tripping out. I had the window open earlier during a hail storm, so I'm assuming water must have got in the switch. I hope it dries out and starts working. The list keeps getting bigger and bigger. If you have any spare parts or recommendations for cheap parts, or just general fix it recommendations please let me know. I'm going to need one of those oval tents to work under. Put the 4-runner up on blocks and get this stuff fixed before the fun season comes! TIA, any help would be appreicated -Luke-

It is a 96 4x4 3.4 w/ 97thousand miles (see mod list below)

1. Broken rear window (hung up on wiper motor)

2. Broken lock button (it unlocks, but will not lock. It will not lock all doors automatically with the key from the outside, just manually)

3. New exhaust leak (sounds like it's at the exhaust manifold)

4. SAW's to soft. (need to raise the ride height and stiffen up the front end, but my tool is bent out of shape)

5. Lower ball joints shot (the only place to find them is stealer ship)

6. The tie rod ends are shot (steering is sloppy, about 1/2 wheel turn play in it)

7. Sway bar connect broken (drivers side)

8. Alignment off (need to fix suspension first)

9. Headlights are pointing straight down (need to lift SAW's first before aligning, but also the alignment screw poped out of the plastic housing and doesn't want to go back in)

Is there a better tool for the SAW's besides the one they come with?

I've always had good luck with www.toyotaautoparts.com they generally always have great prices.
