I recently lost a hub cab while driving on the worst PA "interstate", I84 westbound between Port Jervis, NJ and Scranton, PA. Does anyone know where I can order a new one and how to make sure I get the right one?

When we bought our 4 Star, there were two missing hub caps. I bought a new set of four on EBay much less expensively than the two OEM replacements would have cost. There are probably a hundred styles available in every price range and size with some sites offering free shipping. They work well and are quite impressive, replicating aluminum wheels. I had a similar set on a steel stock trailer and they lasted many years when they were sold with the trailer. They also hold up well on the PA highways and we've never lost a replacement.

You can get a set of 4 bolt on hub cabs for about $220. I got my through a Big Tex Dealer. They looked great on my 4-Star and won't fall off. You can also find them on-line with little searching.

Call 4 Star and ask for parts. I got a set of 4 replacements for free due to a new design they use now. Mine's a 04 and the ones they used then had smaller holes in them. Bad habit of vibrating and moving into the valve stem. They sent me a entire new set. Recently, while in OKC for a barrel race, we went by there to see about some replacement slats for the butt side. I figured it would be really high, but the fact that I didn't have to buy a whole sheet and them cut them was worth the try. I walked out with a whole set of 4 pieces cut for me for $45.....Give them a try...at least you know they will fit..
