My cj has a Dana 30 with the one piece rotor and five bolt hub.I would like to put six bolt hubs with separate brake rotor on it. Would this conversion be as simple as getting a six bolt hub & rotor kit with a six bolt Warn hubs or will I have to change the axle, spindle, wheel bearings, etc.
To clarify you wanting to end up with 6 lug wheels ??
If all your after is the 6 bolt lock out hubs then simply get a set of hubs of a late 70's CJ that had disc's the spindles bearings and rotors are interchangeable although the late 70's up to 81/82 has 11.75 disc rotors and late CJ had 10" rotors you can take the whole outer knuckle and end up with little bigger brakes while your at it

76-77 and some 78 has 1.125" wide rotors. Then after they 7/8".
Now to confuse you even more, I went with small Chevy spindles and Ford F150 rotors which have the internal hubs. The 6 bolt hubs kept coming loose. End of problem.
PM me if you want a set of 6 bolt setup.

Sorry about the confusion. I want to end up with six bolt lockout hubs. I understand you can get better lockout hubs in the six bolt than what is available in the five bolt pattern. A PO ran it with worn out brake pads and the rotors are in bad shape. Since I have to pull the hub off to replace the rotor anyway I though that if they were interchangeable I would go back with the six bolt hubs.

Yes just simply get hubs from a late 70's CJ. Even those with QuadraTrac that had drive flanges still had 6 bolt for the drive flange
Just did this to build a hybrid wagoneer Dana 44 used cj outer knuckle spindle hub rotor etc with scout axle shafts. Gives me 5 on 5.5 plus better castor than a scout. Next time though would not keep my bling wheels and go 6 lug wheels and run a wagoner rear also. Less messing around and better outcome. Oh well live and learn
