    Howdy from Garner NC!

    Evening! New to the site but not new to FSJ.

    Edit: Thank you to the member who helped me figure out how to fix my posts, I had this grand intro but the whole thing disappeared.

    Anyway, howdy! I’m Troy.

    I’ve lurked on the forum for a while, new to posting but not new to Jeeps. Grew up riding around in my dads 79 he bought new, but have had ~10 of my own in the last few years.

    Currently rocking a:
    78 Short Bed J10 360/TH400/Dana 20
    79 Long Bed J10 360/T18/D20
    81 Waggy parts rig
    84 Grand Wagoneer 401/727/NP… 228?
    86 Long Bed J10 360/727/NP208

    There have been another 4+ in there somewhere but they seem to find new homes.

    Welcome and pics of your rigs would be awesome.

    My stable is very small compared to yours, so sure you have lots of experience to help others with

        Need to use flickr or another free pic program, then share and copy/paste the link into your message, and pic will appear with the tag like on mine.

          Howdy, Troy. I'm Rob, and I'm also a Wagoneeraholic.
          I second the Flickr rec. I use it to post pics on all kinds of sites, works great, just need to play with it a bit to copy/paste the links from there to here. If you need any help let us know.
          And beware of the apostrophe bug, it'll eat your posts. Happens a lot on iPhones, but it's done it multiple times on my windows laptop running Chrome too.
          Easy way around it is to backpage back into the original post (most browsers will keep that original post in its entirety) and just copy/paste it back into the now-garbled post (easy), or just hit the edit button on the garbled post and retype everything (pain in arse).

          EDIT: LOL, the bug actually just happened again when I posted this, this time on the laptop's MS Edge browser.

                Welcome From SoCal AND Idi-ho! You have a fun year to work on.

                Posting pics kind of sucks here but could be wose. Here is a how to. When you first start, it takes some getting used to but after a while, it becomes second nature.

                I've noticed some threads come up about people having problems posting photo's to the site here. I have always found it pretty easy, but I figure I can show others (with pictures;) )how I do it, and maybe we can get some more pics of some kick ass Jeeps here! Generally, this process should work the same way from other 3rd party

                  POSTING PHOTOS EASY AS 1,2,3

                  i dont think anyone has paid attention to the times i have tried to tell you how easy postimages.org is to use......

                  READ BELOW:

                  if I can use this site for posting on IFSJA,...anyone can

                  I lucked up and chose "postimages" site for trying my first photo post

                  easy as pie, and free

                  after you load the image

                  it gives you many choices under the photo,....

                  the one you want to choose is "hotlink for forum posting", ....YOU CLICK THE BLUE FOLDER IMAGE AT RIGHT OF LINK called Hotlink for forum posting
                  when you click that, it copies the link automatically to your computer....

                  then go to ifsja and after you type your message hit PASTE,...and that is it
                  the photo is on the site,....

                          Yeahhh, I think I had my phone in panoramic when I took that picture.

                          They are getting parked for 2 weeks though, traveling from NC to California to pick up a M1070, then driving it all the way back home.
