I turned to my wife and said, you know who can help with this? The pig balls website.

 Help me Goons!

I'm on safari in Ngororgoro crater and I'm having trouble shifting.
When I'm in 4x4 everything works fine.

When I put the 4x4 in neutral and try to shift using the regular transmission, I can let the clutch all the way out and nothing engages. Don't move.

 It's a 1998 land cruiser if that helps.

 Not sure if I am misunderstanding, but that sounds normal?

If you mean the transfer case by shifting in/out of 4x4, if the transfer case is in neutral, you ain't moving anywhere.

The transfer case needs to be in either 4L, 4H or 2WD.

 The 98 land cruiser I’m North America at least is full time 4wd. The transfer case shifter only goes between 4wd high, neutral, and 4wd low.

The vehicle won’t move with the transfer case in neutral. Neutral does not mean 2wd.

So don't take it out of 4WD, ez pz.

 Whoah - did OP lurk for over 12 years without a single post, only come here as his final lifeline when he mixed up his gears and panicked as hyenas surrounded his land cruiser deep in Africa? Because that would immediately go pretty high on my list of favorite goon lore.

Still in 4H. In Serengeti now. Supposedly there's a mechanic at the gas station. That's tomorrow's problem.

Thanks!

Glad you're on the move again man, but if we're understanding you correctly you shouldn't need a mechanic - the 4WD transfer case has to be in one gear or another for the car to move. You only put it in Neutral to get towed.

Now you owe us pics of your safari when you get home!

Maybe the OP is transporting a consignment of pig balls, and this is adding to the urgency of the situation. The two subjects might not be as unrelated as one might think!
