    Yes. My pictures at too big and I have had to start adding them from my photo bucket account. You can try that and just copy over the picture using the img link to this build thread.

    Not a bad starting point, there's a lot of fleet sides piping up here in TX.

    To post picks from your computer
    Do a>post reply
    Then do> manage attachments
    and look for your pics and then hit upload.
    I think there is a max file size but not sure on it.

  16. That's a nice looking starting point, I would rock that as my daily driver if I lived somewhere that didn't have a foot plus of snow on the ground.
