OVERVIEW
The KFI #102020 Upper Winch Relocation Mount moves your winch to an elevated bumper position, optimizing recovery angles and protecting lower frame components during heavy-duty operations. Crafted from 3/16-inch steel plate with a premium black powder coat, this front upper mount provides a rugged upgrade designed specifically for Can‑Am Defender side-by-side platforms equipped with factory bumper part number 715005754.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
Relocating the winch stabilizes heavy loads against trail vibration while maintaining accurate bolt-pattern alignment for both standard and wide-body assemblies. The 3/16-inch steel plate undergoes bead-blasting and receives a durable powder coating to resist corrosion, impact damage, and continuous mechanical stress. Direct template drilling streamlines installation for baseline winches, while larger units bolt directly to the bumper without requiring structural cuts or modifications.

WHY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Riders select this relocation mount when stock winch placement restricts cable pull angles or interferes with suspension travel during mud crawling and steep recovery work. Moving the heavy load higher shifts weight closer to the center of gravity, improving front-end traction and stability over uneven ground. The precision-drilled mounting system eliminates installation guesswork, while the bead-blasted steel chassis endures constant exposure to moisture, rock debris, and salt without degrading. Built for daily utility duty and aggressive trail use, it delivers reliable recovery strength without altering the vehicle’s factory profile.
