Even the most capable off-road vehicles will get stuck sometimes. Its not about where or when you get stuck but how you recover. Our ECS winch mount will allow you to add the most important piece of recovery gear to your overlanding vehicle, a winch. Get yourself up that steep grade of hill, pull yourself out of the mud or be a recovery vehicle for other over-landers knowing you have a stout mounting system for the winch on your X5. Upgraded recovery with an awesome aesthetic!

The factory tow points on your X5 may be good enough for a flatbed tow or short distance pull but they would be no match for getting pulled out from mud or up a hill you just aren't able to conquer. Increase your overland rating with our in house engineered winch mount. Our overland winch mount utilizes the factory frame rails for an extremely sturdy mounting system and is discretely tucked away behind the factory bumper. The added structure of the winch mount includes two extremely thick recovery points that fit a standard 3/4" D ring for when you are pulling or being pulled by another vehicle in a time of need.

Features:

Standard 10"x4.5" winch mounting pattern

Recovery points are designed for standard 3/4 D rings

Fits Pre-facelift and LCI Models

Utilizes area behind the factory bumper

- Light Bar Mount for the winch -

Lighting is a necessity when off-roading, when outfitting your X5 with a new winch and mount you will need the proper lighting system for those late nights and early mornings on the trails. Even though our winch mounting system is glorious on its own, we think it is absolutely necessary for the added light mount.

Common points for mounting aux lighting include the front bumper for long-throw lighting, the roof for high clearance/high perspective lighting, and the base of the A-pillar for ditch lighting. This front mount light bar bracket provides a clean install point for your long throw lighting needs. Fear no ditch, no dark, obstructed, or unknown path when adding a light mount to your winch!

This winch light mounting system doubles as both a utility for lighting and a rugged aesthetic upgrade. If you are looking to upgrade lighting but are not ready yet, fear not. You can start by adding this awesome light mounting system and choose your lighting option later!

Features:

Accommodates 2 large light pods or the light bar of your choosing

Direct fit on the E53 Winch Mount

Fits Pre-facelift and LCI Models

Exterior coating to match any build
