    Sorry you had to go through this too. In a way I'm starting to realize even though I didn't get my stuff, I'm glad he didin't touch my truck. Self tapping screws is insane! I have had to make holes for skid plates and it's not easy lining up to existing holes. He couldn't be bothered to go through the effort. Simply horrible.

    Yeah, there’s a ton more I can go on about. He was supposed to make bracket for my fog lights I tacked in the bumper as one had fallen out, he just re tacked it except burnt the lens and it broke off couple days into my trip. The paint on the 4runner was 8/10 for being original and he parked it under a cherry tree which left all kinds of small circle stains from the acid in them hitting the hood and roof. One other thing is the mess of wiring he left when I asked to clean it up with a blue sea system fuse block. Oh the joys it was :’)

    I would go to his house and drill self tapping screws into the roof of his truck too. Payback!

    If any of you are planning to file small claims, do it in your city. All you have to do is fill out a change of jurisdiction form and make Nate travel to you. I did.
    Most of us paid E-transfer from home and technically transaction took place in your city.

    Hey everyone. I got taken for $1000 from Nate also.

    Back in October 2016 I ordered an OME suspension kit from him for my '99 4Runner. 4 months of excuses and I demanded my money back, eventually got it.

    Stupid me he seemed like a nice guy who was just having a rough go so he offered me an ARB bumper for $1000 back in May 2017. After more excuses I knew the bumper wasn't coming in so we compromised on him making a roof rack for me on October 1, 2017.

    Still nothing...more excuses. I'm sick of it. We all work hard for our money and he's had $1000 of mine since May 10, 2017. Now his company page is off facebook, his Nathan K McDonald profile is gone. What do I do??

    Everyone that is owed by Nathan, can you please call this number.
    1.888.310.1122 OPP in Stayner. Tell them you would like to add a complaint in regards to Nathan McDonald and his business. Tell them your story. The more people that call the better. I just got off the phone with them and they need others to file a complaint.
    Please don't sit back and wait, call ASAP.
    Thanks everyone.
