Overview
The Baer Brakes 4402001HO is the Hugger Orange edition of the Pro Plus rear brake system, a complete rear disc kit for Jeep vehicles equipped with the factory rear end. Baer’s manufacturer list names the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK), the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler (JL) and the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator (JT) as compatible vehicles for this finish.
Each rotor is a 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated design with a billet aluminum hat, and it arrives pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. A 6-piston floating caliper clamps the rotor. The brackets and hardware for the install come with the kit, while brake hoses do not, so plan to supply them separately.
Key features
- Six-piston 6P caliper built on a floating design
- Components CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Hugger Orange powder coated finish
- Stainless steel pistons and abutments with noise suppression clips
- Staggered piston layout intended to limit uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Slotted, drilled, zinc plated 2-piece rotor on a billet aluminum hat
- Uses the D0731 FMSI brake pad type
Caring for the orange finish
The Hugger Orange powder coat holds up well to road grime when the calipers are cleaned on a regular schedule. Brake dust settles on the caliper body quickly, so a mild soap and water rinse during tire rotations keeps the finish looking even and makes any cracks or leaks easier to spot.
Avoid strong solvents, acidic wheel cleaners and abrasive pads on the caliper body, since these can dull or lift the coating over time. Keep high pressure washers at a distance from the caliper seals and bleeder screws to prevent water from being forced past the dust boots.
- Rinse calipers with mild soap and water
- Avoid solvent-based degreasers on the finish
- Inspect dust boots for cracking or tears
- Check bleeder screws for corrosion during service

Vehicle fitment
The manufacturer list for this Hugger Orange kit includes the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator (JT), the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK) and the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler (JL), all with the OE rear end.
Vehicles outside those model names and year ranges are not covered by this list, including other Jeep generations. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Because the parking brake re-uses the OE setup, the kit does not supply park brake parts. The minimum wheel diameter is 18.0 inch, so the Q145P template is the practical way to check wheel clearance before the wheel goes on.
What’s included
The kit includes pre-assembled 2-piece rotors with NAS stainless hardware, the Hugger Orange 6-piston calipers, and the brackets and hardware for mounting.
Not included: brake hoses.
