I ordered MT sliders late Monday night and they shipped out Tuesday. I've always known MT to produce a superior product and have great customer service. Many Land Cruiser guys swear by them on ih8mud.

@ sroodtuo
PM'd me for some shots of the MT TE Sliders. Specifically, he wanted shots from overhead showing how far they stick out from the body compared to the OPOR Sliders. I figured others may want to see this as well so here they are. Yes, I am fully aware these are horrible in quality, but
@ Antman
will be proud 
For reference, here is a link to similar pics of the OPOR sliders: Bump Out or Straight Sliders

I don't, though that is not the first post I have seen like that.
Sounds like you have had good luck with them, looking forward to pics!

Thank for the photos. And the quality isn't bad either. Maybe Mark and LT should hire you to do product marketing.

A side job to feed my mod addiction, that would be brilliant!

OPOR sliders by metal tech questions...
Looked and looked through a bazillion posts, so no flaming. Lol
Any cutting or removal required for install on a non-KDSS 2018 off road premium?
Any reason to believe that the 2016 TRD pro version of these sliders wouldn't have the right fitment on an 2018 OFP (different trim or bolt pattern)?
Is there a reason why none of these fab companies have moderately good websites with pics and PDFs of pics and instructions? Lol
Much thanks!

Give Metaltech a call or email. They were super responsive and helpful to a bunch of questions that I had before I bought my OPOR sliders. Great bunch of guys, and I would not hesitate to deal with them again.
To more directly answer your question: I believe that they carry a more or less common slider for the OPORs that fits most all of the trims (except maybe limiteds). There are holes I did not use during my install. The full MT sliders may be more bespoke, but again I suggest to hitting them up as they're very good at telling you what their product will fit on.

Thanks for the reply. I'll do just that. Wanted to ask here, as I trust this community more than most suppliers. Lol
