Update: I'm safe, and my Jeep issue was corrected (temp fix).

Hello, My 2010 JK 2DR had a mechanical breakdown and has no gearing (only neutral) on Ellis Peak Trail (030412). A friendly family gave me and my friend a ride to the PDQ Tahoma Market (west shore Lake Tahoe). Any jeeps in the area willing to tow us off the mountain to the main road? From there I can have Alpine Towing take me to a shop. I'm willing to pay for your trouble! I'll post updates if I find another tow, as the locals here are trying to find a local to assist.

Just saw this, you still stuck? I'm a few hours away. I'll text you as well.

On way with a land cruiser. Hoping we can manage from here

PM me and I'll get you my cell for future reference. I live in el dorado hills and can get to any of the major trails in a couple hours.

Ended up being my shifter cable linkage to my 4WD shifter breaking. The jeep was stuck in neutral, thus why it wouldn't shift to anything.

Was able to get beneath the center console and reconnect. This morning I bought an "E" clip and I hope that fixes it for now. I'm going to look into upgrading that connection.

Pretty embarrassing to get stranded on an easy trail!

Advanced adapters makes a all metal set-up for it. I had it install after I broke mine and had to get out in the mud and shit it from underneath. Never again lol

are you talking about the transfer case linkage or the automatic tranny linkage?

I have an 08. my manual is fully metal, and my t-case is all metal linkage. What exactly broke?

I did the same thing. It's expensive and takes time; but worth it. That plastic retainer pin is cheap but can break at the worst time. It's also on the transfer case as well. Best to just buy the expensive AA kit and be done with it.
