Running Boards

Just finished the installation. For those who is planning to install the Running Boards, here are a few experience that might help.

1. The 10mm bolt plates cannot fit into the front and center on passenger and driver side. Total of 8 X 10mm bolt plates that will have problem. Two options:

a. Make the Manufacture hole bigger. If you do it outside, most shop will likely go this way. i.e. drill the holes bigger or hammer the 10mm bolt plates into the holes.

b. Cut the 10mm bolt plates to allow it to fit into the hole. You will need a power metal cutter to do this.

I opted for option b to avoid drilling hole. See attached picture for the cut 10mm bolt plate. See picture 1.

2. The Passenger Side Front support bar cannot be installed. It was blacked my some pipe. See pictures 2 and 3. I decided to not install this piece and I hope it is ok.

3. The Running Board is about 1.5 inches too long for the QX60. Not a big deal. See picture 4.

I hope this information will be useful for others that are planning to install.

Hi Jasper,

I'm in the process of installing these running boards on my 2015 QX60 and running into the exact same problems as you, specially the one with the pipes in the way. Since you mentioned that you didn't install inner support bracket for the passenger side front mounting bracket, just wanted to check if you have had any issues without it? I'm also doing the same but would feel better if you or someone can confirm it.

thanks....
