This is what I do for my rear OX. I crawl under the rig and manually lock it when I get to the trailhead. Manually unlock for the road. It's a pretty solid setup if you're cool with crawling under your rig every time you want to lock/unlock. No actuators to fail.
I like the option, but I'm not spending $1000, just to have to crawl under every time. I also unlock and lock the diff constantly on the trail. Locked front, open rear steers really well through trails. You can use a rock or tree (or cutting brakes) to pivot around stuff.
Why not run the little 12v solenoid, or air actuator? If something fails, you go back to the manual pill.
Ill agree that the cables suck unless your just a stubborn fuck who probably thinks a carb is better then efi.
