Detroit Lockers with Locking Hubs

After watching and participating in the "Mud Pulls" at Churchville, and
seeing the additional traction that Keith Boda's pipeline truck had with
his lockers, I was seriously contemplating the installation of Detroit
Lockers in all three axles. Certainly air actuators, especially for the
steering axle appeared to be a necessity. However, why couldn't manual
locking hubs be installed, along with the Detroit Lockers? Unlocking the
hubs for road use, and locking them again for off road or ice/snow, etc.
seems like a reasonable, as well as fairly inexpensive alternative.

Any nays or yeahs from the peanut gallery about this idea?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
