Finally Found Baby Moon Hubcaps!

After several months of searching, I finally found a full set of baby moon hubcaps. The rears aren’t that difficult to find, but the fronts were VERY elusive. And the truth is, these are actually rears that someone cut. Luckily, they did a decent job and you can’t really tell unless you get really close. Either way, I’m tickled pink!!!

 

Beautiful! And even one for the spare

 

Now every ting-a-ling after a bump in the road will have you in a panic.

 

Omg. I’ve already thought about that…

I really wish I could figure out a way to use some double-sided tape or something to secure them. Some of them fit tighter than the others…

 

I bet you could make some tabs keep the fronts from fitting over the lockout hubs.

 

Mine have never come off, on some pretty tough trails.

 

There are two diameters of these hubcaps, with about 1/4” difference between them. The smaller diameter fits the 3 nub stock rims, and the larger hubcap fits the AMC 4 nub rims.

Not to hijack this thread but I recently bought a set of these hub caps as well but found that the fronts won't fit over the older Warn hubs (M2/M3), has anyone had any experience with enlarging this hub opening? I've thought about finding a sheet metal shop that could punch the hole to the correct diameter and then roll an edge on the new opening but not sure if there's a better way.

 

Easiest way would be to get a set of the newer style hubs

 

Correct.

From my experience, the Kaiser (early style) are larger diameter - 10 3/8” inside diameter. These have the Kaiser red/gold centers.
The later style (AMC) is smaller, at 10 1/4” inside diameter. These have the AMC red/blue centers.

 

Nope.
I have a red/gold set which are stock on my 70 Commando, and I have 2 sets of the red/blue ones (see my CJ picture above.
They're all the same size.
I know there were 2 different sizes but I really don't know what the different applications are.

 

they are a great look...enjoy

 

It a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe factory color. I believe it’s called pewter metallic, or maybe ‘light pewter metallic’.
