Detours of Maine Spare tire hitch mount system

Can't cancel. I used paypal and after 6 months you can no longer dispute it. I think this is what DOM thrives on. Once you are past 6 months you are SOL and he just ghosts people. No phone number no email address. Shady shady business practices.

I’m in the same boat. I’m currently at just over 10 months with my order. The response time to my messages is around a month. I’ve now requested a refund, we’ll see what happens…

It’s been over a year since I placed my order and paid Mark. Does anybody have Mark’s last name or address?

Weight distribution, ideally you want everything in between the axles or as close to them as you can get. If you put enough weight on the hitch the front of the vehicle will raise up as the vehicle pivots on the rear axle. The further behind the axle that weight is the more leverage it has to pivot the front up. Getting it further forward reduces the front end lift for a given amount of weight behind the axle.

whether or not this guy is behind on his messages is irrelevant, the actions constitute fraud. billing customers, not delivering, not communicating and no refunding is illegal regardless of intent in every state and province in north america. if you really want your money back the only real option you have is file a small claims suit. how worth it is it to you to hire a lawyer that's familiar with local law to go and do this on your behalf? is the loser of the case required to pay all legal fees in the jurisdiction this case is held? if not, don't waste your time, in just 2 hrs of work your legal fees will exceed the recoverable amount. you're probably out a few hundred $ I'd bet, honestly at this point it's a sunk cost and a lesson learned

looks like he's still in business, about a 4 year wait time though by the sounds of things

Hopefully he took all his contact stuff off because he isn't taking orders so he can catch up. In a perfect world that is what he would have done.

CTNEWMAN ENGINEERING is his site but 4 Runner toys don't appear to be his Bread and Butter.

I would suggest you initiate a fraud complaint with your CC, you may be outside the window though due to the time involved. Sounds like this turkey may have defrauded you.
no more FB
To add to the thread, I just noticed that Mark has just recently deleted his Detours of Maine Facebook page. This was the only way I used to get a reply from him every now and then. The regular website is still up, but there is of course no "contact" info or option given. Pretty lame.

Sounds like he Detoured out of Maine.
The nicest one, imo, is the CTNewman above. SSO, Southern Style Off-road has taken over the design and is planning on building these for production.
I made my own hitch mount spare tire carrier.

If you search other forums, he’s been doxxed. Full name and two addresses. That was earlier today so I would guess the removal of the webpage is in response to that

That looks good! I hope SSO finishes up with their version of this soon.
