They look very nice on the QX60.
The amazon link in the earlier post says currently unavailable. Where else can I find these running boards?

I ordered one from a reseller on Sears.com for about $350 with tax and shipping. It's more than what it was on Amazon but lot less than Ebay. Will see if this reseller has it.

No luck with the seller on Sears.com so far. Paid and to tracking number a few days after order. Tracking number became invalid and was supposed to be delivered by 9/19. Nothing at the door yet but order status showed it's delivered. Huh?


Call Sears and they told me to deal with the seller. Told them I did but no response. Filed a dispute with CC so now looking for another place to order the running board.

ouch. I got my boards installed. Looks great and functions well. Kids are very happy as well.

Will post pictures in later on.

If you got scammed, I definitely recommend the ebay seller I posted.

After a few calls with Sears and CC company, seller decided to give me a call. Gave me a bogus excuse of miscommunication with the shipper but I did some research and found out that this company uses various names on Sears and Amazon to sell.


Once again..at this point, I may elect to not the board on the QX

I ordered from Amazon as well. Shows that it shipped. Hoping to install it next week. All the write-up so far should make the installation simple.

I ordered mine on the 14th and received it one week later. Will unbox it this weekend.

I used 2 set of bolt, washer and ring washer from Lowes and use it on each sides of the front. Most of the brackets are identified with stamps in case anyone is trying to match up with pictures.


I did install from passenger front to back as instructed and then went around to driver back to front. Having worked on cars for past 25+ years as a DIYer, I would say installation is a 5 out of 10 with 10 being hard. Tedious..

Just an update on these. I installed mine a few months ago and don't really see it as a big difference as the QX60 is low already.


Well was I wrong. I went on a trip last weekend to visit my aunt/uncle. They are in the late 70's and early 80's. I took them out on a few trips and the steps was a huge help.

For those with the running board, I want to give you a "heads up"


I've I had my board installed for over a year now and everything is well but when I did my brake pads this weekend. I just realized something that may/may not affect you.


First off. Being in the NE, I did notice that the bolts are getting rusted. I would suggest maybe checking up on them every year.


Now for the issue. For the rear side step brackets. They are mounted very close to the jack point for the rear. So if you do have to use the factory jack for emergency and are trying to get the car up using the suggest jack point, you won't be able to. The bracket will have to be removed first.
