Warning about True North Outback Adventure Co’. formally core outfitters- NATHAN MCDONALD

Looks like he deleted his Instagram last night too... he was posting pics of a Sprinter build this past week.

 

Core Outfitters
6572 Hwy26
Stayner, Ont
L0M1S0

 

He actually has the product so i assume he will.

You do know that they are meant for long travel A-arms only, correct? They wont work with stock suspension / UCA only.

 

Core is still at the same address, I paid him a visit today.

 

Did you get your product/refund back?

 

He's in stayner now. So no that is not the address

 

But to get the actual travel you need lower control arms

 

Details?

 

Served him yesterday evening. He just took the papers and then asked, "which one is this?". Guess he's expecting a few people to serve him. Nothing interesting happened, just gave him papers and left.

 

For court?

 

NO you didn't read my message.

They are LONG TRAVEL Icon's, not MID TRAVEL Icon's. You have to replace both upper and lower control arms with extended length arms. You have to use a kit such as this one: http://store.sdhqoffroad.com/2005tacoma6-lugprerunnerand4wd2overracekit-1.aspx

If you don't plan on doing this... ASK FOR A REFUND!!!!!

 

Hey guys, I thought I was the only one that got screwed by him. I had a 98 4runner I rebuilt with my father and girlfriend. Long story short. I brought it to him after seeing some of his “work” and was pleased and happy he seemed passionate about his work. I dropped the runner off with him in beginning of May. It had my roof top tent that I purchased from him the year prior(there’s a story about the tent too). He was going to install dual rear swing outs, grille guard on my already built front and rear bumpers I built by hand, make a roof rack, aluminum 1/4” skid plates and some solid rock sliders and a dual battery set up with blue sea system. So he did some of the stuff I needed done, front bumper grille was done. Sliders were bolt on that were rubbing against my body. Rear swing outs were bubble gum weld and didn’t have my jerry cab holder built like I asked. I had to weld in a gusset for the spare tire as the weld had cracked. He installed ditch lights that I did not ask for and they were forcing my hood so badly you had to slam it for it to shut. Skid plates were SELF TAPPING SCREWS into any cross member he could find and not 1/4alumim.And the cherry on top is the roof rack he installed with SELF TAPPING SCREWS! So yeah it leaked and was unsafe and pure idiotic.. I went on my trip after waiting months and months (all summer may-sept)and getting my truck back only a week before my month long trip, the first night we opened the tent that he rented out all summer and promised me a new one was full of mold stunk like beer, had stains and rips all over. Still haven’t received my new tent he promised or money back for screwing up my roof and providing shit products, I paid 4500$ for this garbage work and products and want to return my 1000$ skid plates and roof rack, and get my new tent but he’s been giving me every excuse in the book as seen on this forum. I was so disappointed he admitted he rushed to do my truck and “fucked up”. Thanks Nathan.

 

I got a lot more to say about things I missed to mention just terrible. I will post a video on the Facebook page southern Ontario off-road (4x4

 

Wow...


That's all I can say...

 

Guess you can add vandalism or willful damage to that rap sheet!

 

Jesus. Self tapping screws for skids....Rents out your tent and it gets damaged.....Thats pretty messed up. Even someone who is completely new to this world would know that self tapping screws for skids and a roof rack would not work....The fact that you had to pay to have your vehicle to be damaged is just unbelievable...sorry to hear is all I can say. Thank you for sharing this experience as you may save people a lot of grief....

 

Yeah, I’m one to normally do it myself as I got those skills but thought I’d leave it to a “pro”. Never again :/ still enjoyed my trip out east tho! I will contact the bureau for better business’ see if there’s anything we can all do!

 

I'm also a guy that would do everything myself, but this is exactly what I was talking about before, that one shitty "company" can really detract from all small businesses. Sucks to see! Though I don't blame you in any way, I would feel the exact same.
