spiffinspudater Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well incase some of you didnt know, I just finished up my service in the Air Force. I am in Southern California right now but originally from Oregon. Job hunting is going alright but I am kinda afraid to commit due to not knowing where I want to live. I am, however thinking about taking a flight back "home" to Gresham Oregon with in the next couple months for a week. So what this means is that I am going to have to try to get together with some of you guys at one of your "weekly meets". I will put up a time frame when things are closer and I figure out where I am going to stay when I get up there (mom moved to Kentucky). Anyway, just wanted to give a heads up that I may be crashing some of your Ratsun parties! OH YEAH, If anyone knows of any companies looking for a Network Engineer I am interested!

Its just disguised as an aircraft machine shop, we even string airplane parts about to make it look like we work on them. peace. Quote Link to comment

RB_Shaggs Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 it might rain a bunch in oregon but the high desert is pretty jacked weather wise hot as hell in the summer cold as hell in the winter and summer nights.. plus the closed LACR (the race track in palmdale) i am from that area originally and my parents still live in Tehachapi where i grew up.. Oregon is definitely better then Lancaster Palmdale area. but it could be worse you could live in Mojave. (Spiff should know what i mean) Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hah! I was just looking for my old truck posts and ran across this one! 3 years later and I am actually in Oregon again! I got a job back on the base for 2 years then went to Kuwait for a year and then came back to Oregon and now I am going to school for a while while I chill out (paid for by the VA). My truck is in socal and will be coming up in about 2 weeks to live in Oregon City. I have tons of stuff that I need to do to get it road worthy again. What comes first, making it run well again or fixing the steering? Quote Link to comment
Rob W. Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 All depends how bad is the steering??? If it is just a bit off get it running right. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I was able to turn the wheel about 1/8th of a turn before it would catch and turn the wheels. So minor corrections required 1/8th of a wheel turn. Lots of slop. To get it running right if I remember correctly, it idled funky but I dont know how bad it was. Also, some issues with the clutch. Clutch should be first on my list. Needs to be bled + ?... Crap. I forgot how much I needed to do to this. Quote Link to comment
Rob W. Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 It'll go quickly I'm sure. One thin g at a time right start with the clutch then steering then make it go faster imo. Welcome back to the states, thanx for serving. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Welcome back Javin ! Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I am pretty sure I am allowed to revive my own thread jerks :lol: So, I dont want to see my truck in the "spotted" section when I am tuggin it behind a uhaul. Just because only 1 of you has ever seen it in person... Side note, I was totally wearing a robin shirt up till 15 min ago. :cool: Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Alright, I will be driving from socal to oregon today, tonight, and tomorrow. Datsun is riding on a trailer. If you see me, don't distract me :) The truck is going back home! Quote Link to comment
