If this bumper does fit the XHD Generation II Swing and Lock Tire Carrier (11546.25) but I don't see a hole on this bumper, do you have to drill it?

This bumper already has the holes in it for the carrier. It comes with some plugs if you don't use the carrier but it would not require any drilling.

If you own the bumbler then you will see all 6 pre drilled holes with rubber stoppers.

Negative. The holes are pre drilled. They also come with rubber stoppers that you can place in the holes if you do not use them.

Yes, you must drill holes. I had my local scooter shop install it when I had them install a GIVI top case. It fits great and looks good.

There's a hole and a slot for a lock that's supposed to go around the handle. But I couldn't find a lock that could work so ended buying about 5 links of chain to wrap around the handle and lock it that way. Also I have after market wheels with a center cap the post on the tire carrier works with small hole on jeep stock wheels but not the bigger hole I had to get a plastic block machined at a machine shop for it to sit right. And if you are gonna run35s or bigger this carrier does not prevent tail gate sag

My friend has that generation Fit and I don't believe it will fit (no pun intended). The product has 3M tape in the back so the bumper appliqué will be able to stick. But it won't look like it belongs. I hope this helps.

Purchased for a F250 with standard rear bumper, holes matched, but did not mount/use it due to selling the truck.It also matched to a Toyota truck (buyer for it). If you look at it closer, the holes are also elongated to fit many types of trucks.It is very well made.Larry

No there is no drilling required for mounting the actual hitch but you might have to enlarge a lower hole in the unibody area in order to fit the nuts up into the inside of the unibody frame area in order to mount the hitch. I had to jack the hitch up with a floor jack just to get the last bolt on the right side. Also make sure the read the instructions and insert the spacers correctly between the mount and the frame on the correct side which if I remember correctly it was the passenger side. Other than that the hitch fit nice and all went as planned.

The hitch is a very simple universal type design. There are two sets of braces of different lengths to fit any type tractor. On my Craftsman tractor there were existing holes I used for the braces so I did not have to do any drilling. I suspect you may need to drill a hole for the braces on your X300.

It does require drilling, also the holes in the bumper did not line up with the holes in the frame. I had to die grind the slots in the bumper to get it to fit properly. The plastic spacer on the tire carrier was not thick enough to support the load of the tire, so I had to make a spacer to close the gap, which required buying new longer metric cap screws. The studs on the tire mount were off slightly. I was able to mount the tire, but it could have been better.

Yes, The bumper has two great spots for D Rings. Hard to see in any pictures. But they work great.

The bolt holes that come with the bumper are small, I wouldn't trust them so I drilled and re-tapped to fit the original bolts from the manufacture. They are metric. Drill and tap before installation.

The circular opening in the arm is too small, so it does NOT fit. I have the 2008 & what I had to do was drill the hole bigger. It's fairly easy to do- the metal is light cast aluminum, so I was was able to drill it using normal (large diameter) bits and a battery-powered DeWalt drill. Otherwise, it's a fine replacement and length.

I just checked booklet that came with my rack and it says "no fit" for BMW X-5/X-5M years 2000 thru 2011. A note indicates it is not recommended because the vehicle is unable to support the weight at the point where the carrier must be placed

I use rubber bumper plates. The center hole is 2 inches in diameter. Pay close attention to that as many of the plates you'll see are 1 inch and fit smaller bars. The bumper plates also don't change in outside diameter. They're all the same diameter regardles of weight; the only thing that changes is their thickness.

It requires drilling four holes on the stock bumper bracket. The front of the frame where the bumper bolts to has four holes on each side but the bumper bracket only uses two per side. You have to drill the other two on each side of the bumper bracket which drills easy. There is no drilling in the frame of the truck like the other brands

You are correct this is made to fit the XHD front bumper. I am not saying it couldn't be made to fit, but it was not designed to fit the factory front bumper. Thank you!

Hello,The bumper has two sets of holes. I use the one so it sits closer to my bumper approx 3 inches away. It also has a hole that allows it to sit and inch or so further away from the bumper. Hope this helps.
