Awesome, I think I'm going to go this route and likely mount an air tank under the truck somewhere.
I guess none of you have realized the rovers have factory mount points for the factory air tank.... for us this means it mounts under the passenger side. Mine is filled by a line from the compressor under the hood and i have two outlets and gauges one under hood and one inside left rear cargo area side hatch which is also where the emergency battery combine-switch is located.
I have the extra tank on the opposite side from the one used by the suspension. So simple to mount and a lot bigger than 1gallon. No need to use up valuable interior space.
I considered it at length but decided i see basically zero need for air tools trailside. Recently I removed, repaired and reinstalled a front strut trailside due to failed air line splice. Hand tools are fine. Air tools just add a lot more bulk and require that compressor to run. Seems crazy if you really had a big job.
I’m trying to think of what can the done easily without air. Maybe to get the hub off the axle or something. Removing the viscous fan is way easier w air hammer/wrench.
What else?
