Geonovast Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 There's something going on this weekend... I finally got that :mad: motor out, and so tomorrow I'm gonna finish re-sealing the new one and finish everything else on the truck, then on Sat it's going back in. So Brent, I could use a hand if you're still available. :bowdown:

500 MJ Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 What time? The usual 10 am, or earlier? I'm up and ready by 6 am thanks to my new internal clock for the job. So I am good to go for any time you are. I am thinking about rigging up a washing machine in my apartment. I need to buy one first though and I was planning on doing that this weekend, might go shopping for one tomorrow night after work... The short of it is that I am sick of having to go to the laundromat and I want to mess around with rigging this thing up right in my living room off of the lines to my kitchen sink and then draining it into...something. Maybe my Bathtub. I gotta exercise my manhood before "she" comes into the picture... :yes: :clapping: We'll get your motor in first though and see where I am with time afterward. Maybe the washing machine will be the project for Sunday.
Geonovast Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 10 am sounds good. Hopefully we can drop it in and have in running in a couple hours. I think I'm gonna yank the radiator. I didn't wanna mess with those tranny cooler lines... but I think it's worth it to not destroy the rad.
500 MJ Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 If you do destroy the radiator, I just bought a gently used RENIX one on craigslist for my '88. The radiator in it doesn't look to have much life left. Although it is nowhere near as rough as the finless one you have in that Red MJ. The cooling issues are gone now that I have a good cap on the bottle for the '90. :clapping: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1260 ... e=Top-Load
MiNi Beast Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 you know they have apt size washer that hook right up to your kitchen sink then drain in sink then when done you roll it away. In fact I got one out in the shed if you wanted it, come get it. :rotfl2:
Automan2164 Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Brent, If you come down my way, there is a sears appliance outlet / scratch and dent. I picked up one of these super-high efficent magnet driven (no motor) high-efficency washers there for $369. http://www.fisherpaykel.com/laundry/ Spins the clothes so fast on spin dry it sounds like a jet, and the lid actually has a auto lock on it to keep idiots from getting hurt. :brows: That, and the clothes are practically dry when they come out. Less money spent on the gas bill for the dryer. Rob L. :D
500 MJ Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 I'm looking for that Maytag I put a link up for. Might they have one of those? How close to you is the place?
500 MJ Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Be honest, did you win? "It's a clean Pickup, you don't see many of those around anymore." Ha - We do everyday! :rotfl2: For the record, I stopped into the DMV tonight after work and licensed both trucks in Wisconsin and I am an official Wisconsin Driver now too. Got a regular "truck" plate for the '90 and a "hobbyist" plate for the '88. :yes: Out the door at $452. :wall: Dang.
89eliminator Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 no i didnt beat him :oops: next time we head out there I'm bringing the "new" jeep. :clapping:
Automan2164 Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Brent, here is the website: http://www.searsoutlet.com/d/index.jsp The store by me is in McHenry, IL, 60050. Its 30 mins just over the border. Check it out, maybe you can find a store in cheeseland online. Rob L.
500 MJ Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 I did, pics coming soon, gotta find the cord to download them... just wait till you see how I rigged this thing up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP3xiLKJ9_4
500 MJ Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 As promised: I came off of the supply lines to the sink with T compression fittings and then used a 3/4" to 3/8" reducer to jump up in size. Whenever I use it I have to plug it in and not use my kitchen sink (for obvious electrical hazard reasons). I also run my drain hose to the bathtub cause there ain't no way my sink will take the volume of water in the machine. It takes a while to fill with the small 3/8" supply, but it still beats going into town to do laundry. Works well, done 4 loads in it so far. :clapping:
Automan2164 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Looks like you need a bigger apartment... :dunno: But I like the ingenuity. Rob L.
MiNi Beast Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 nice pooper you got there. :rotfl2: need bigger place some day. :yes:
500 MJ Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 nice pooper you got there. :rotfl2: need bigger place some day. :yes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15XlSbGzGTk :dunce: Yah, its an apartment and its cheap. Getting my own house someday when I absolutely need it will be GREAT. For now, this works though and the fridge is nice and cold. :cheers:
MiNi Beast Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Wasn't that Kareem Abdul jabbar, :dunno: that damn basketball guy? :rotfl2:
