Metaltech Slider SALE

[jad05k]

I ordered the MT powder coated ones. I think the shipping inventory slip said OPOR on it. I think in the past they had 2 designs, but now the same design with powder coating being the difference (and consequently, higher cost of shipping to protect the powdercoat). [Someone correct me if I’m wrong]

Manhattan’s sliders appear to be one of the older designs, and not currently manufactured.

Looking for another pair of sliders for my newly acquired LX470, did these go up in price? I remember paying $599 for them plus shipping a couple years back, it's now $1000 + shipping for the opor non powdercoated ones...

They have definitely gone up in price, but maybe not quite as dramatically as you remember, it is my understanding that steel prices have gone through the roof in the last year or so.

From my receipt, from the 2019 "group buy", it looks like my uncoated OPOR sliders were $709.99, before any discounts or shipping.

Yes, the cost to make the sliders and probably more important to a lot of people, stock them, has gone up. Steel, Laser cutting/forming, forming, and labor have jumped, then jumped again. Just getting the custom-made U-Bolts made, plated, and shipped is now almost 5x where they used to be. Metal-tech 4x4 is pushing hard and reinvesting heavily into inventory to make sure we don't have prolonged stockouts. It also helps that 100% of what we make is US Made. All the tube work saw cutting, welding, and assembly is done in-house by our own Metal-tech 4x4 staff.

Right now writing this we have 19 sets of raw and 8 sets of powder-coated, 100 Series/LX470 sliders in stock with hardware ready to ship. All at a time in the US right now that "in stock" is not a common thing at all!

All this of course to get the best built and performing sliders on your truck!


Hudo raw sliders in the foreground. Inspection tags and barcode inventory tags on them = ready to ship.

Top two racks, pre-packed and ready to ship powder coated 100 Series/LX470 sliders. (Right and Left individually boxed in custom double wall boxes made just for these, since its the only fighting chance to get them to you w/o major scratched powder coating!)

DC! Shoot one of our good friends here in Oregon just moved to VA, probably could have snuck a set of sliders into his hundo before it shipped East.

Sure do appreciate the kind words and the repeat business. Thank you, Mark Hawley

Do you mean these kids? Photos were just now taken:

Ryan Hawley - second-year student at OIT studying medical internal imaging. But during the Summer support in our office since this kid has been going to offroad events, spotting and wrenching on Toyotas since he was 2yrs old. Now 20.

Evan Hawley - 4.0 incoming Junior in Highschool. This kid lifts weights 6:45 AM to 8:15 AM, works 8:30 -5 PM on the shop floor at MT4x4 as a shop tech, then hits Football conditioning at 5:30 PM- 6:30 PM, then runs plays on the football field to 8:30 PM. Comes home eats everything in sight, sleeps, and does it again. Ya he is 16.

Missing is the middle 18yr old kid, Owen Hawley. He is just about to go to U of O, for business. This photo was not taken right now champ bowl game for Oregon HS last month. But he has worked at MT off and on as sports allow for the past 4yrs.

These sliders are good for a high-lift jack right?

I am imagining yes.

Most definitely, not an issue at all.
