S60 looks good So I found a little leak out of the axle tubes on my 2 year old Strange Dana 60 a few weeks back.
Went to the forums here and found that means my inner axle seals are f*ed most likely due to a bad axle vent (checked and sure enough not much air was making it through).
So I pulled the axle and took it to a local shop to have the seals and bearings replaced. Got it back and decided since it was out, why not make it look decent too.
What it looked like when I started
After taking a wirewheel to half of it
After prep and paint with rustbullet.
The replacement vent (a fuel filter)
Slapped the nice aluminum cover Strange offers on because the crappy chrome one leaked a bit too
Bolted back up on the car
Put a set of UMI 3-point subframe connectors on while the car was up in the air. Bolted up nice. Can't wait to test them out.
Anyway, just figured I'd post some pics since I took them. Definately an improvement over what it looked like before. The whole reason I didn't paint it when I first got it was because I didn't install it (didn't have a garage at the time)

Wow! That looks great! That color combination looks great I was wondering what color to repaint mine today since it's off my car awaiting bearings. What kinda paint did you use?
what fuel filter did you use for the vent, Im goin to be installing my s60 this week and Im wondering if I should do this before I put it in the car, and do you have a pictures of the vent with the filter
