Bugger. It had to be me. Mine actually fall right out, the clips at the back of the cap don't touch at all.

Looks like I'll have to go nuts with some Sika.

I think Supercheap sells Lebanese Tool Boxes. Every Lebanese builder/developer owns one. You get a tool box and in it you get Liquid Nails, Sikaflex and Duct Tape. Apparently that's all you need to build a block of units these days

And on the BFG front,i have run numerous sets for the last16yrs,all A/T's,and had the first puncture 6 months ago,a coach bolt through the tread.

Done numerous Cape trips,desert trips,etc,etc.

I actually don't carry two spares anymore,only a second carcase for remote area trips.

Tyres have done 55K so getting down.

Probably fell out of one of those builders utes.

Babs,it would be interesting to know what size and load rating the BFG was you looked at,also KM2 or KO2,as has been said,there are many in the A/T range which are not LT.
235/70/16 was one size,which is the OEM D2 16" size.The 245/70/16 was an LT and was the preferred option,diameter being almost identical to the 235.

The above was for the KO,the new KO2 maybe different.

On the badge front my original center caps became a very loose fit on the genuine rims- so loose they would fall out. I just bent the plastic tabs outwards - they now fit tightly again. Maybe worth a try?

Just a couple of dabs of neutral cure silicone so that the caps can be easily removed for wheel balancing.

I'd read about this when I first got my GOEs but I never tried the OEM caps as they are the chrome ones which are all the same colour and I didn't want to fit those.

I purchased a set of original design caps from Ebay and they are tight as.

I never thought of that, I went and painted my originals black.

Do you have a link or description of the ones you got off eBay

cheers.

Sorry Babs it was 5 years plus ago. I just looked up LR D4 wheel caps. If I remember rightly there were quite a few options.

Thinking back now, this was D4 number one so I had the original designed wheel caps (silver background with the green oval with silver writing) which were loose on the GOE rims. I think it was mentioned on this forum that aftermarket ones are tighter. Those memory banks are obviously partially overwritten now ... LOL!!!

They were so inexpensive I think I just gave it a punt ... and I had to apply a bit of pressure to get them in. I just leave them fitted to the GOEs.

Cheers,

Kev.
