Reinstall the drain plugs then use a fluids transfer pump (they are about $10 at Walmart and most auto parts stores) to fill them both back up. You know they are full when the fluid level is even with the fill hole. If you overfill just let them drip for a bit. Reinstall the fill bolts and be on your merry way. Mobil 1 or Redline 75W-90 GL-5 gear oil is a good choice for you xfer case and rear diff. While you're under there you also might as well change out the manual transmission fluid (assuming you are MT) with some Redline GL-4 tranny fluid (2 quarts of MT-90 and 1 quart of MTL works great in Mitsu transmissions).
Thank you im going to do just as you say and I just had the tranny rebuilt and the fluid was changed then about two oil change's ago
