Just making sure, are you sure your switching it properly, foot on the brake, in neutral if it's a stick sometimes the clutch has to be depressed also then shift from 4x4 to 2wd and see if it works.

Then it's trans is neutral foot on brake and select 2wd. If that doesn't work you can remove the motor off the transfer case and shift it back to 2wd manualy as long as the problem your having is not inside the transfer case. with the motor off you can switch between 2 and 4wd and see if the motor accually turns.
 
Did you try backing up a little ways? It has worked for me on some older trucks

I don't see the issue, just drive off road everywhere now.
