Running Boards

I don't think the Qx60 got smaller in 2015. So I'd attribute that to quality control of the board maker. You can see that sometimes the screws are missing or whatever and people have had to ask for a replacement set after receipt.
And it's based on where you set the running boards.

They adjust in/out and forward/backwards. So depending on if you have mudflaps or not and how tight or spaced apart you want the running boards from the mudflaps, it will extend into the rear wheel well.

But not much. I squeezed my boards against the mudflaps and it hangs over by a 1/2 inch. I realize these are made for the PF, and the PF running boards are much thinner than the JX.so they have to room to slide all the way forward.

But I agree that Infiniti did not change the length of the frame or the stamping process mid cycle for the 2015s.
 
Installed.

I was missing two plastic retainer washers and one of the T bolts seemed damaged. Snapped almost immediately trying to tighten it down. Emailed the seller hoping for a replacement.

I think the look great on a black jx.

I installed these running boards on my 2015 QX60 Hybrid last Sunday.
Amazon.com: APS RB-NO180S Black & Chrome Nerf Bar Bolt Over for select Nissan Pathfinder Models: Automotive

I ran into the same problem as Jasper with the Passenger Side Front Support Bar. Rather than leave it out entirely, I flipped it around and it was able to clear the thin black pipes (which I suspect house some wiring re: Driver Assist option on the vehicle, which is why not everyone has this problem.) I realize the steel is not as strong in this position than the intended way, but I thought it would be better than nothing. See photo.

My running boards seem to be just a bit short, but it still looks okay, since the chrome lines up pretty well with the chrome accent on the door above.

Oh, and some of the bolt plates had to be grinded down a bit to make them pass completely into the holes. Luckily, we have a power grinder on the workbench, so it was easy. But a dremmel (sp?) could do the trick, too.

Now, we're ready for my 86 year old mother-in-law next week!

I don't think yours are short.

I'm pretty sure they are designed to be used with the mud flaps.

Everyone I've seen that has the boards and the mud flaps seems to line up perfectly.

I for one wouldn't be happy if I bought running boards that required me to take my mud flaps off.
 
Yes, I ordered my from Amazon. Exact same link provided by others.

Yes, you can slide it from front to back. For me, I slide to it to as front as possible. I still have about 1.5 inches stick out at the rear.

I suspected the car is a little different in length base on the year. Mine is year 2015.
I find it hard to believe that that 2013, 2014, and the 2015 have different body lengths.

I have a 2013 jx35, but it was a late 2013. Almost a 2014. It even have the new tranny in it even though it was a 13.

I placed the order. Hopefully it's the right length, because if it's that long on yours, it won't fit on mine with the mud flaps on it.
 
Different lengths?

We have a 2013 JX35 with mud flaps, and I'm a little skeptical about ordering these. It seems everyone has different sizes. I'd like mine to fit from the edge of the wheel well to a edge of the mud flaps.

Do these slide from side to side, and that's why they look so different?

Mayoo 's look perfect with the mud flaps.

Ek_lion' s look very short.

Nismosr vs look like they are perfect is he had mud flaps.

Jasper looks longer than others.

The ones in the picture on the Amazon listing looks too short.

What's up with all of these?

Did everyone order from Amazon?
