Nope, found a mod friendly dealer, they ordered a whole new Tcase, supposed to be in this week. Not much longer and I'll have been basically without it for 2 1/2months except for the week and a half I was 2wd waiting for a new driveshaft when I thought that was the problem. Hell it might be 3months, been so long, can't remember.

Most impact wrenches work well. I have a Craftsman, but I have used others and they are OK. Compressors are rated in psi and cfm. Air tools need pressure, painting and sanders need cfm. The recommended psi/cfm is usually on the tools box. A compressor I believe is a must have. From running air tools, to blowing out filters, airing tires, I won't be without one.
As far as a backup wrench goes use a box wrench. The box end lets the wrench hang by the nut so all you need to do is keep it from spinning.

I got a kawasaki brand electric impact wrench from pep boys for like $59.

great investment

some argue their effectiveness but i like having a set of spring compressors just in case.
