DuraGo BR5111 Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Durable Disc Brake Rotor for Jeep CJ5, CJ7, and Scrambler

The DuraGo BR5111 disc brake rotor is engineered to provide reliable braking performance for Jeep CJ5, CJ7, and Scrambler models. Crafted from cast iron with a full cast construction, this vented rotor is designed to maintain consistent stopping power under various driving conditions.

• Material: Cast iron for durability and heat dissipation
• Vented design to improve cooling and reduce brake fade
• Nominal thickness of 0.87 inches (22.2 mm) with discard thickness at 0.81 inches (20.7 mm)
• Overall height of 2.19 inches (55.5 mm) and outside diameter of 11.75 inches (298.5 mm)
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 5.5-inch (139.7 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without ABS tone ring

Technical Details and Construction

The DuraGo BR5111 rotor features a full cast iron construction, which offers a balance of strength and heat management essential for effective braking. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat and reduce the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor measures 11.75 inches in outside diameter and 2.19 inches in overall height, fitting precisely on Jeep CJ5, CJ7, and Scrambler models requiring this specification. The five mounting bolt holes with a 5.5-inch bolt circle diameter ensure secure attachment to the wheel hub. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and has a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with the following Jeep models:

• Jeep CJ5
• Jeep CJ7
• Jeep Scrambler

It is designed for use in conventional braking systems where a vented, full cast rotor is required. The DuraGo BR5111 is suitable for replacing worn or damaged rotors to restore braking efficiency and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Reduced braking performance due to worn or thin rotors
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
• Uneven brake pad wear linked to rotor surface irregularities
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.81 inches (20.7 mm) before installation
• Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with your vehicle’s brake system, especially if ABS components are present
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR5111 rotor to meet industry standards for material quality and dimensional accuracy. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, its cast iron construction provides reliable durability under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product documentation or supplier, as they may vary.
