Overview
The Baer Brakes 4401006B is a black Pro Plus front brake kit for the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT, designed for trucks that keep their original-equipment spindles and hubs. A six-piston fixed caliper clamps a 14-inch two-piece vented rotor, supplied as a single matched front package.
Calipers are powder coated black and built around stainless steel pistons with noise suppression clips. Baer lists caliper manufacturing in Phoenix, Arizona. The rotor’s billet aluminum hat and its NAS high grade stainless hardware come pre-assembled, so the rotor is ready for mounting.
Key features
- Six-piston fixed caliper with a powder-coated black finish
- Staggered pistons designed to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- Slotted, drilled and zinc-plated two-piece rotor on a billet aluminum hat
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Caliper body CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum
Pad and rotor care
Front pads and rotors wear together, so inspect both at every tire rotation. Pads that wear unevenly can point to a sticking caliper slide or a worn bracket. A rotor with deep grooves, heat spots or a pulsing pedal should be measured and replaced if it falls below its minimum thickness.
Keep the rotor surface clean and free of oil, since contamination reduces pad grip. Apply anti-squeal compound only to the back of the pad backing plates, never to the friction surface. After trail runs through mud or water, check the caliper seals and brake lines for leaks, and clean the wheels so dust does not build up around the caliper.
- Inspect pads and rotors at each tire rotation
- Keep oil away from the friction surface
- Check seals and lines after wet or muddy trail use
- Torque wheel fasteners after the first drives

Installation notes
Brake hoses are not supplied, so line up a compatible set before the job begins. Measure the Q082P template against your wheel, since Baer cannot guarantee wheel fit across all wheel styles. Brake work changes stopping behavior, so test pedal feel and braking under controlled conditions before regular driving.
What’s included
The package includes the six-piston caliper assembly, the two-piece rotor with hat and hardware, and the mounting brackets.
Not included: brake hoses.
