Default Splitting the E-brake??

Hey, so the past few days Ive been searching this site and others to see if anyone has split their E-brake into two handles. This idea came when I was underneath my XJ and saw the two E-brake cables. I have an oped diff and thought this would be a good way to help out when all the power is being sent to one tire with no traction. The idea is a poor mans turning brakes. So my question is, has anyone done this?

have not done it myself yet it would be rather easy really since both cables come threw under driver side and connect to adjustment box would only need to put another adjuster and handle setup with cable basically mocking what is already done by factory

Ya, that's what I've been thinking about doing. I have thought about getting another e-brake handle and trying to integrate the two together. I am mainly wondering if anyone has done this already so I could run with their already working idea, instead of working from square one.
