Sorry I don't have any pictures of the plugs but they are at the back of the transfer case and on mine the fill plug is about 1/2 way up on the drivers side of the BACK of the case and it is a hex-head plug. The drain plug is near the bottom of the BACK of the case and is a allen head plug. If you decide to drain the t-case make sure you take the fill plug out before you take the drain plug out just in case you can't get the fill plug loose.

Ya use your dipstick. Noooo not that one...Your pinky.
Take the fill plug out and stick your pinky in. If it comes out with oil dripping off the end, the level is good.
