Sort of BTDT. I converted the shitty vaccuum system to electric. I now
have a carbon fiber box on the top of the steering wheel with two
buttons on it. I can (with either thumb) lock and unlock the center and
rear diffs INSTANTLY. No more waiting for vacuum. You never have to let
go of the steering wheel.

It works really great, and I cant beleive I didnt do it years ago.
