thank you to all. I'm tech deficient when it comes to pictures
imgur account is what I use. You can upload your pics there, set them as private, click the little 3 dots in the upper right of the image you want to share, get share links, select the 3rd one down (message boards/forums), copy it and paste in the reply box.
Boom. Your pic is in the message.

Welcome,
I will offer your first piece of advice. Give your Jeep a thorough cleaning and I don’t mean with a bucket of soapy water.
There are numerous hiding places in these Jeeps for the collection of dirt and other foreign materials. Ask us where they are we will be glad to tell. This is often where you will find rust damage. A blow gun with a long hose nozzle, a plastic scraper (don’t want to use steel here, it might damage/scratch factory coatings, and a flashlight will be very handy here.
Spending time cleaning your Jeep will allow you to familiarize with it and help you decide what direction you want to go.
I used to name my FSJ’s after their previous owners, I realized I had too many with five named Rick.
Just brought home my first FSJ a couple weeks ago, 1984 Grand Wagoneer w/rebuilt 401 engine, and excited to dig into it to see how deep the pockets need to go.
Looks pretty good so far, but time will tell all

When I upload pics from my phone to PC, I need right click on the pic to "open with" - "Paint", then set the size from 100 down to around 15, and when you go to close it will ask you to save. Then use "Full Editor & Preview" button to add attachments.
Also gives you the chance to preview before posting, so you can remove or change the pic you want to post.
