well you can get u joints at just about any automotive parts store and distributer
try oriellys or napa
also as transfer case fluid i think its good ole trans fluid
but your front and rear differentials will need special gear oil 80/90 wieght or you can use lucas synthetic differential fluid

Look up a couple videos on replacing U-Joints if you haven't done them before... it's a little tricky
