Metal Tech Opor slider install

Installed my OPOR sliders Saturday. No real problem with Brake lines or any other things in the way. The only real problem is there are no holes in the frame for the bottom slots on the sliders.
They are also about 65-70 lbs apiece. I guess one person could do it but I couldn't by myself.
For the 6 holes to be drilled requires 2 good Cobalt drill bits and preferably a corded 1/2 drill. We used M7 drill bits and burned through two drilling 3 of the holes. Had to make a quick trip to home depot for cobalt to finish. We were using a battery powered drill with 2 batteries that wouldn't hold a charge long. Lying on my back and drilling up is exhausting. We did have to move the brake line bracket for a few minutes to be able to get my arm down into the closed portion of the frame to install the nuts and washers on the bolt on the drivers side. Took us about 3 1/2 hours but could have shaved an hour with better drill bits and a cordless drill. they are solid as a rock and look very good. (Sorry no photos...haven't had time.) We did that Saturday after work then went out sunday and ruined a tire with only 792 miles on the truck.(Damn).

 

Haven't heard of Metal Tech sliders. Cool.
Just looked them up.

Tacoma sliders.

 

Not like there will be a next time, but next time you have to drill those bottom holes...

The eight holes I had to drill took me about 15 minutes and almost no effort.

 

I saw that photo before and thought about them as I drilled.
