Smittybilt scout bolt pattern

[Billy Goat]

Got a screaming deal on a smittybilt scalp camping trailer, I couldn't pass it up.
It has some really sweet looking pro comp tires and wheels about 35 in with upgraded shocks as well.
In a perfect world this thing would have the same bolt pattern as the Bronco. But it's five on five. Hooray for the Jeep guys!
I doubt seriously they would have enough meat to be redrilled or maybe come up with a blank hub that could be drilled?
I guess the cheap way out would be to put wheel adapters.
Thoughts/ feelings/ fears/ anxieties?

Did you ever change out the bold pattern / hub for the Bronco 6 x 5.5?

Did you find an adapter?

I am building an overland trailer using a 1974 Ford Currier Truck bed and would like to buy an new axle / hub combo to match my Bronco.

Never made the change, but I found Idler trailer axles on line that could be cut to fit that means Id loose the brakes option.

Thanks; based on my "google" searches there is no real option...should be easy!

I should be able to purchase a new axle, with brakes, and matching Ford Bronco bolt pattern!!

I see you are from TX...any travels to NM with you rig?

Try Motorsport-tech.com for wheel adaptors, they offer some of the best products available, and if they don’t have them they can certainly build them...

Good luck

I was supposed to go this year,BUT- might sneak in a white Christmas , I really love NM, always wanted to live there. Still thinking about a Vac property.

NM has some wonderful opportunities for Overlanding; everything from very remote mountain camping by a stream, to numerous National Parks, to "off the beaten path" back roads. Good luck and have fun. Thanks for the info.
