Its possible stuff could have shifted in the collision. You'll have to inspect the linkage. Have someone shift the lever through all positions. Look at the linkage while they are shifting. Look for binds/bends.

Another option is to unhook the linkage at the transfer case. Then see if you can move the shifter freely.

FYI, they had floor shift 4wd up until 2014.
