Is MetalTech still making their "wing construction" 100 series sliders:
Metaltech4x4 100 Series Land Cruiser Sliders
or have they shifted over to a more OPOR style slider:
OPOR 100 Series Land Cruiser Sliders
as suggested in this thread
Slider pic thread
If this is the case, are the reviews for the "old style" or "new style"?

Metaltech all the way! I have had the issue sdnative posted but only when I put the vehicle lift pads on the mounting plates for the sliders (NOT RECOMMENDED)! Easy fix - just loosen the u bolts and pry them down.
I had them plate the full length with dimpled holes to keep a small childs foot or leg from going through and potentially causing a bad fall or breaking a leg. When I say full length I mean front to back not just the step out in front of the rear wheel well.

Exact same ages, my boys never have the tiniest trouble with my MT sliders, which I love and use the sh*t out of.
Boys this age are crazy though, and if they could use the sliders to parkour onto a nearby culvert, they'd happily knock a tooth out.
How Much?
OPOR sliders here, zero issues with them, and I beat on them pretty hard.
Sold mine at least a year ago....
I wish air tanks could be incorporated with sliders.
Looks to me that the MT Step Slider is no longer, and replaced by their OPOR design- ( and now offered at a higher price).
There was a pretty substantial design difference between the two- not in strength per se but weight and construction and asthetics. Also note that one design for AHC and Non AHC means just 2 support arms (mounting points) and not 3.
I think the original step slider design was a nice balance between a running board and slider with all the protection and a nice finished look. The OPOR design is fine, but nothing special compared to other options in the market, especially now that the price is +$200 more and features one less support arm.
