Possible move to Utah!

[rosettaquarrier]

The company I work for has asked me if i'm interested in working for them in Salt Lake City, Utah

I'm considering it, could be a great career move. There will be a recce trip arranged in the next few weeks, after which we'll know if it's going to happen.

My question is, does anyone have experience of importing old landies into the States? Or a good forum to ask in the US (not like those miserable poms )

My Stage 1 ute is over 25 years old; I'd be keen on taking her.

But my County is a couple of years away from being eligable for import. She's in great condition; i'll never find another like her. Do I store her here for a couple of years, or sell her ?

Anyone been there? Opinions and comments welcome. No doubt many will involve mulitple wives etc.

If you like a drink you will have a problem. Dry city, unless things have changed. Lots of dry counties in Utah. The Mormon majority don't even drink coffee and tea if they observe their faith's rules.

My take on it, go for it work experience in a foreign land why not.
Our contract officer in Iraq was from there a hell of a nice bloke.
Spent some time in utah a few years ago nice place.
On the landy, I would be doing the storage thing, Easier than shipping over and back again.

I have visited there - one of my close friends is from there, nicest bloke you'd ever meet - but I can't say the same about his uncle that I've also met, so I guess there are all sorts there, same as anywhere!

I'd go for it as an experience.

The White Motor Corp. Western Star truck plant was in Ogden, Utah. The factory used to close down for two weeks for the deer hunting season.

I agree!
And when you get there, buy a TJ and wheel the *** off of it!

One of the first things I looked into.

It is not completely dry any more, but you can only buy beer up to 3.2% alcohol in supermarkets

You can get stronger, but only from state-run outlets or 'members clubs'. I'll be looking further into this over there!
