4WD Shifter not working
Ive done a bit of research and most people have issues with the bushings failing. So naturally that is where I started. I removed everything to access the linkage under the pedestal and found no issues. I can actuate the shifter and the linkage under the body will not move at all. Could the internal cable be broken? Is the internal portion replaceable, or do I need an entire new assembly that feeds through the bulkhead?

You looked at the bushing under the console. How about the one on the lever on the T-case?
If that one is good, too, the cable housing anchor may be broken. There is one on each end of the cable housing.

I guess I need to disassemble the...assembly so to speak and see if it has become disconnected. Hopefully it isnt expensive.

Hopefully this will bump to the top for more views.
I think I have isolated the issue. The bushings are all intact.
First thing I noticed was the clip That attaches to the cable had come askew. It was still attached but slightly ****ed. I looked up a video on youtube and found this clip. I do not have that stand off mounted on my transfer case. I have a 2013 JKU, Did they delete this option? Surely it didnt just fall the **** off.
Any ideas? Should I buy the new cable or does my jeep need the standoff?

That's odd, I've not seen a reason to remove the standoff. The new cable won't come with one. You may be able to buy one off of a used transfer case if you can persuade a seller to get one to you. The clip is available through the dealer and they're pretty cheap as well as on hand.

Yeah, Its missing completely. The weird thing is, the bottom nut is on and secured...with wrench marks all over it, and the top nut is completely missing and the stud is bare. WTF. I think someone might have needed a $20 standoff more than me. People suck.
