Hi . .� Ron here from central Virginia

I joined theCJ2Apage.com a couple years ago when I started getting re-interested in old flat-fenders.� �I have enjoyed my trail '2A for over 20 years,� and now starting a new project, '51 CJ3A.� I am going try to keep it as original as possible.

A photo showing it after 10-12 years waiting to become a project.



Here is a photo of it in my driveway.� I had just cut the snowplow frame off of it.� �It looks sad to be so beat up,� but relieved to get that heavy frame removed. ;D

I remember that Willys from the 2A page.  Probably because of the unique bumper. ;)

Welcome to the 3A Page.

I was able to attach a photo, finally,  but it is an attachment at end of post,  . .   how to I insert it in the body of the message?

ie.  I would like to attach a dozen photos,  each with a description above the photo.

JeepFever,

There is a good post here, somewhere, with a good description on posting photos.� For some reason, I can't find it.

Bottom line, Photobucket or similar photo hosting site is the easiest way to post multiple photos into one post.� Photobucket is easy to work with.�

1. Join. It's free.
2. Uploaded you photos to Photobucket.�
3. Start a new post here at the 3A.
4. On photbucket they give you a few choices on the type of file you want to use.� Choose the picture from your album.� �Choose the "IMG" option (when you click the IMG code box, it will automatically copy the image code).� Go back to your post at the 3A.� Right click to "paste" the code.� Push the "Preview" button below the message box to confirm the photo or photos shows up.
 
5. Repeat the copy photo / paste photo as many times as you like.

Note: Things change a little depending on if you are using a PC vs. an IPad.� Some of us have found that you have to delete part of the image code to post more than 3 photos.� This is only true when I use my PC.� If you run into this issue, keep all code that is between [IMG] and [IMG]...including the [IMG]s.� Delete all code between [URL] and [URL]...including the [URL] at both ends of this portion of the code.� It sounds more complicated than it is.� Once you see the photo code it will make perfect sense.

Hopefully I'm helping.� I really want to see lots of photos.� We all do.

Thanks Tim!   

Earlier today I was looking thru the '3A site, and came across your tub building thread. . .  wow,  great info!

While viewing the thread,  I noticed that your write-up looks like what I am hoping to do (photos embedded in text),  and your photos come from links to PhotoBucket . .   I decided that I might give that a try  . . .   you just confirmed that it might be best option.   :)

JeepFever,
Looks like you mastered the Photobucket!

Thanks for looking at my build thread.� There certainly have been some challenges.

Your 3A looks like it might need a patch here or there, but for me, these are the really fun ones to watch.� Looking forward to your build.

Tim�
