How on earth could that get that bad? It looks like galvanic corrosion, or acid corrosion, not rust...
Definitely good that you took care of it. Terrible sight to behold.

Note that the Original Poster hasn't been on in a VERY long time. (Click his name and then Profile) Doubt he'll reply. Just FYI. This thread is ancient.
I think most of us use the recommended gear oil from the TM.

Where's a good place/price to get those? I'm assuming they are not made of gold, like HMMWV mirrors. I replaced mine with repurposed NOS school bus mirrors, but they rattle too much and are too small to be useful.

Russ, I apologize that I missed your note, as the page count for this thread jumped and I kept going.
I have a volunteer, and the boots are on the way to him.
I don't know about your fitment question, I've never worked on an M925 (or any other 6x6 for that matter).
Dimensions for the M35 are...
Thanks all. Dead pilot volunteered by PM and a set of boots is on its way.
Davidb56, the fabric is claimed waterproof by the manufacturer. The zipper would be less so. I imagine they will do fine driving through puddles, but I imagine sitting in standing water would likely let some in to...
Well, the zippers came in and I had a few moments free this morning.
First is a photo of the diagrams and planning. I used the diameters supplied to come up with conical measurements to join the two circles (axle and hub) with a 6.5” gap between for the 8” #10 brass zipper. I added 1/4”-1/2”...
I installed a non-electric Pyrometer when I turned my fuel up 1/8th. Based on what I've read for the 6.2L diesel, I keep her below 1100. My engine is tired and I have the gen 1 gearing in my drivetrain so I have to accept I'll never be fast but at least it can move a hair faster.

Thanks for the referral Wheelspinner. I'm not sure that shipping to Spain is worth the effort, though I can check. I do have one set of OD Green half doors available, but I would have to check not only shipping costs but whether parts for HMMWVs are subject to ITAR restrictions because the...
I guess I better get going, seeing the interest.
I began my next MBA class today, so my time is constrained, and I'm building soft slant backs again, and last but not least, prepping for an October wedding (my first, and hopefully last).
Just to put my timeline in perspective.
But we need the...
Those Military Guys advertise here and have a 24VB license plate bracket with a light. I broke the light, backing against a tree for a trail brake, but I was able to replace it.
As noted, lots of options!

I can work with that! Looks great. Many thanks gringeltaube. It will probably be Sunday before I can try again, but I'll see about refining my pattern. I also have a heavy-duty rollover foot now to sew a nice thick seam on the outside edges of the fabric.
I believe I will go ahead and buy a...
