... your favorite supplier. Mine was Red Line but Mobil 1 sufficed.

Manual Transmission Fluid for the transmission
ATF for the Transfer case (1-2 qts)
75-90 gear oil for the front & rear diff's

Check that transfer case religiously. That unit is the weakest link in the car. If it breaks, you can easily spend $3K at a dealership on a repair.

For service manuals, you'll definitely want a bentley. The factory manual would be nice but it's bound (pun) to be expensive. Gordon Haines' iXchange newsletter is the BEST money that you can spend. for around $50, you'll vastly shorten your maintenance/upgrade curve.
