Overview
The Baer Brakes 4401001HO is a Pro Plus front brake system in Hugger Orange for the 2007–2017 Jeep Wrangler JK, designed for vehicles that keep their factory spindles and hubs. It combines a six-piston caliper with a 14-inch two-piece rotor, so the front disc brakes arrive as one matched kit rather than separate parts.
Baer manufactures the caliper in Phoenix, Arizona, and CNC machines its aluminum components from forged or billet stock. The Hugger Orange finish is a powder coat, and the pads use the popular D0731 type. Because the kit is sized for wheels of 18 inches or larger, check wheel fit before installation.
Key features
- Six-piston fixed caliper with a Hugger Orange powder coated finish
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated 14-inch rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
Brake wear and inspection
Front disc brakes do most of the stopping work on a Wrangler JK, and the pads and rotors wear together as a pair. Checking them at each tire rotation helps catch problems early. Look for pad material worn down close to the backing plate, a rotor surface with deep grooves or a raised lip at its outer edge, and any pulsing or grinding under braking.
Because the rotors on this kit arrive pre-assembled, the rotor face, hat and hardware can be inspected without taking the caliper apart. Recheck wheel lug nut torque after the first few drives, and keep the brake fluid at its proper level, since the calipers and hoses depend on it for steady pressure.
- Pad thickness at each tire rotation
- Rotor grooves, heat cracks or lips
- Brake fluid level and hose condition
- Caliper slide movement and dust seals

Vehicle fitment
It fits 2007–2017 Jeep Wrangler (JK) vehicles that have OE spindles and hubs.
It does not cover the Wrangler TJ, LJ or YJ, the JL generation from 2018 onward, or the Gladiator. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The rotors are pre-assembled and the brackets and hardware are included, so this is a bolt-on front brake replacement; no drilling or welding is described. Compare the Q085P template with the intended wheel before mounting, because Baer cannot guarantee wheel fit for every style.
What’s included
The kit includes the Hugger Orange six-piston caliper, the two-piece 14-inch slotted, drilled rotor assembly, and all mounting brackets and hardware.
Not included: brake hoses, which are not supplied with the kit.
