Has anyone on here installed, heard, or use this item? Looks pretty cool, any comments?

I put one on a friends Ranger, works fine, his only complaint is if he needs 4WD without knowing ahead of time he has to crawl in the dirt(mud) or snow to shift it, he recommends carrying a piece of plastic to lay on just in case, disposable plastic unless you want to put it back in the vehicle after use, lol.

So just a "heads up", manual hubs are easy to shift, this can't be reached without crawling under the truck.

Cool, just wanted to hear some feedback on it. Part from having to crawl under the truck it looks pretty awesome

I have seen those before and as a trail repair I think it's a great idea . Small and simple. I would never leave it on though. I have used vise grips and zip ties to hold a t case in gear and this would've been simpler.
