I have not modified the 4wd selector, but I've done something
similar for the shift lever. I should think it would be fairly
similar - possibly just use a rod coupling nut of some type so that
you can use some threaded rod to extend the shifter, bent into
whatever shape works for you. Here is how I modified the shift lever,
might give you some ideas:

Instead of using the threads, you might be able to bolt a piece of
rod to the side of the shifter using some U-bolts. (I forget what the
transfer case lever looks like in the Dak since I don't have any 4wd
Daks.)
