For the axles, a little more information is needed. How do you plan on using the Jeep? Do you have a limited slip in the rear?
Both of these are needed for an accurate recommendation of what viscosity of gear lube to use in the axles.
For the transfer case, you use automatic transmission fluid.

The transfer case capacity depends on which transfer case you have.
The NP 231 takes 1 liter
The NP 249 takes 1.6 liter
The NP 242 takes 1.4 liter
There is a metal tag on the back of the transfer case that will tell you which one you have.
For the axles, as long as you don't have a limited slip rear end. 75w-90 gear lube will work just fine as long as you aren't in a tropical climate. If you are in a tropical climate going to a heavier viscosity will be advisable.
