Re: Use of Air to power lug wrench
I highly doubt the stock compressor has enough nuts to even think about torquing lugnuts, let alone the volume required to run air tools
I'm putting a full airsystem on my rig- engine driven air compressor, 12 gallon tank mounted up behind the rear bumper, 50' sealed/retractable hose.

Re: Use of Air to power lug wrench
The stock air compressor is good for blowing up beach balls and inflatable dolls*, but that's about it.
I've used it to air up at the end of trail runs and the fittings at the truck were so hot you could barely touch them---plus it was pretty slow to fill the tires back up. You might be able to fill an air tank and try to use that for your air tools, but I really think you'd be better off getting a set-up built for this purpose.
* Don't ask me about the inflatable dolls, sometimes it's just stuff that people know, ok?

Re: Use of Air to power lug wrench
Stock setup is for beach balls, etc.
Get an aftermarket setup for air tools

What about a kegerator? You should put that on your list...a cold beer is always good after changing a tire with your airtools on the trail. LOL!
