Does anyone know if the side steps from a 2016 LR4 will fit an 2006 LR3?

 

...a better question is why do you want them?

They are nice, I used to have them...but if you're going off-road, they are a detriment.

 

yes, but... as Huom stated why?

 

Not everyone takes their 3 offroad... they do make a great safe family daily driver that can be enjoyed solely on road.

 

True, but I find the steps to be awkward even in a mall parking lot.

I always feel like I'm making an awkward double step using them, like the placement is wrong.

i guess for small children they are functional, but as a fully grown adult(although I'm sure I'm getting taller) they don't seem to help.

 

Fair enough... although, I don't recall the OP asking for our opinions on the steps, only whether they will fit.

Just sayin'

 

Fair enough... although on a forum, opinions are what you get! Along with bad information, hyperbole, jokes, and occasionally some helpful information. Like my experience that LR4 side steps will fit an LR3. Ok, maybe more than occasionally.

 

I didn't answer his/her question, that is true, but the alternative was saying nothing, because I don't know the answer. Instead I chose to give them food for thought. I stated that they are a detriment for off-road, and meant that mostly as a caveat. I know that not everyone takes their LR3 off-road.

I do want to go on a little tangent, now that we are there. @EastCoast you state: "...they do make a great safe family daily driver that can be enjoyed solely on road."

Safe? Yes, very. Family? Sure, they can accommodate. Daily driver enjoyed on the road? This is debatable. The enjoyable part, in my opinion, is the confident feel of it and knowing that it can tackle anything. To me that's great on a long road trip where weather can vary and road conditions are unpredictable....but for a daily commute to work or school let's say? Hmmm....it's heavy. It gets bad gas mileage. It's high maintenance. It's finicky.

Don't get me wrong, I love my LR3 as I've had it for 12 years....but I love it because of what I do with it. It's my toy. I am thankful to have that luxury, I suppose. If I had to commute in the LR3 I'd probably not be so enamored of it by now.

If I want an all-weather people hauler for a daily driver there are FAR better choices than the LR3. X5, QX60, A7, all come to mind. The LR3 is a 4x4.

Just my $0.02.

 

I'm still in the honeymoon stage so my skew is from a place of nubile bliss... for now....lol

 

Yeah...don't get me wrong, I love my LR3 today more than I did in June of 2005. I just know what it's great at and what it doesn't like doing.
