[AKA_QX60]

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.

I have driver assistant pkg as well. so dont know if those wires interfered in my install ( Dealership did it )

I'm planning on purchasing a QX60 tomorrow and with 3 younger kids (and myself only being 5'2") running boards are extremely useful! Installing is not a project I can do myself whatsoever - has anyone had the dealership do it and how much did it cost? I don't think I can work anything else into my deal! Or should I take it to our auto mechanic or auto body shop?

TIA!

 

[Sinecure]

Ask your dealer if they'd do the work if you brought them the stuff. If they say no, find a local place that installs tow hitches and ask them. They may want to be the ones who sell you the running boards, but if they'll source them and do the install, that shouldn't be a big deal. Don't buy them until you've figured out who is going to do the install for you.

My dealer quoted $120 for the install.

$350 CDN At Dealership

$120 is a very good deal. I brought mine to the US buffalo mechanic shop, the guy quote me for 7 hours of work. Which is equivalent to $$$$

 

[AKA_QX60]

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.

 

[flo2877]

what website do I need to go to get some running boards? Or do I just need to go to the dealer?

 

[barryhan219]

Can someone post the exact length of this kind of running board?
I read all of the replies, and realized this running board is 1 to 1.5 inch longer in 2015 QX60. But in 2014, it fits excellent. I feel strange of this issue.
My car is 2015 QX60, I just want to know this one fit or not.
Thank you guys!

 

[Jasper]

I will get you the exact measure this weekend.

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.

 

[James Lee]

I found a new one

As Title.
It's too difficult to find a good one in Taiwan.
But finally, I also have my favorite on QX60.

 

[Rich8]

James.. Very nice ! Where did you order those ??

 

[James Lee]

In Taiwan, Taichung area.
Company name in chinese is 永汰企業社

 

[Rich8]

Is there a brand name ?? Thx

Regarding brand/model… I’ve seen it rebranded from various sellers, so I don’t know the real/original brand.


It seems that the common description for these include keywords: Deluxe, running boards, Pathfinder. I purchased mine from Amazon from the seller AutoMaxStyling (Amazon.com: Fits 2013-2014 Nissan Pathfinder 80" Deluxe Side Step Nerf Running Boards: Automotive)


At $245, it was the cheapest I could find… You can also find them elsewhere like e Bay, which sells for slight and significantly more.


I will clarify that these are typically advertised for the Pathfinder (in case you couldn’t find them for the QX60)… I checked out the Pathfinder forum and found that a few owners had them installed (and many thanks to them for their help). I read the instructions and found that the Pathfinder body holes were EXACTLY the same as the QX60. So, I went for it and bought them. The construction is solid and quality is very high. And I think they have a clean look to them. The steel is thick and not flimsy in any way. To me, they look as if they could be OEM (though I know they’re not).


The installation was as I had expected. The running board description says “80 inches”, but it’s not… it’s more like 75-76” (perfect for the QX60). And the description says these don’t fit the QX60,… but again I found they fit perfectly, even considering I have factory splash guards. I also found out during the installation that the package was missing a few bolts/nuts, but was able to easily find them at Home Depot. Some have installed them on their own while others paid someone/place to do it for them. I installed mine myself and found that it was fairly easy, though a little time consuming (4 hrs total) since I was being very careful and had to stop and clean up to take care of something else (as well as get the missing pieces). And I installed them myself since I wanted to get a good look underneath the body anyway (may spray additional rubberize undercoating). There was no need to drill holes, which was nice. Prior to the install, I laid out and labeled all the brackets and major parts (e.g., driver side vs passenger side and front vs center vs rear,.. to which there are differences). I read the directions twice. One doing the passenger side first (per the directions), the driver side was a breeze.


The nice thing about fitting these running boards is that you can adjust them closer toward the front or rear and inward or outward before tightening (i.e., it’s not pre-fixed).


Overall, I’m really happy with these. I had my 4-yr old son test them out today, had NO problems getting in/out of the car.

Are you sure these running boards will fit 2015 QX60 ??? Amazon web site indicated this won't fit the 201 nor 2015 QX60 ...

 

[tsk_2980]

All I know is that it fit my 2014 QX-60 without issue. So, unless they changed body frame designs on the 2015 versions vs 2014 (doubtful), then I don't see why it would work. Thing is, I know the description said that it was for the Pathfinder, but with my research and actually looking under both vehicles, I found that the 2014 QX-60 had the exact same underbody holes as the 2014 Pathfinder... thus a perfect fit of these running boards on the 2014 QX-60. Can't imagine that it wouldn't work on a 2015. but maybe you could compare pics of the underbody of a 2015 model vs 2014?
