if you are on a slight downhill let it coast a bit while attempting to shift...they can be pretty finicky when not setting level/fully unloaded drivelines.
It was rebuilt n upgraded at the time of the conversion to 4wd.While I agree that the most likely place to start looking is shift motor and electrics, I assume electric shift, I would absolutely start by making sure the transmission has enough fluid and it isn’t burned. The “rebuilt 20k ago” part makes me think that just about anything could be wrong.
Is it cold where you are? That could affect shifts or fluid pressure.
be extremely careful climbing under while troubleshooting, that is how “I ran my friend over” stories start. Consider removing the driveshafts and just watching yokes turn to determine what is working.
