I loved my RE coils. For the generic brands I wouldn't go with any other. They where cheap too like 60$ New for there 5.5" coils.

I have heard great things about devers IIRC.

After some more research I finally decide to give Clayton's coils a shot. I didn't read any negative comments on them so hopefully I made the right decision

Can't go wrong with Clayton from what I have heard.... I have never used them so have no personal input but they are a quality brand.

I looked up some reviews and everyone was positive so I decided to give them a shot. The price wasn't too bad either

Kind of hard to mistake that one, but yeah it's in bountiful. He put a 4.7 stroker in it, but now it's giving him issues. Had a knock that he can't figure out. Nice jeep though.

Hey fellas, I'm moving out your way in December. Any chance you'd be willing to give a new guy the low down on, well, everything? I'm coming from Minnesota so I'm not afraid of winter, I just need some good Jeep friends and maybe a little help finding a place to live/work. Been browsing KSL a little bit here and there, but nothing is really standing out. Moving out there to go to the U.

I think our winters are milder than yours LOL. good idea with KSL, you'll find lots of rentals and jobs on there. if you live off campus you can take the trax to the U and save on rent by living farther south in the valley, unless you like room mates. places move fast so you might plan to stay a night or two in a hotel. Also check out RME4x4.com for another good group.

Thanks for the reply! I'm on Jeep forum as well so I'll check that out. We've got an extended stay hotel room for about a week so we plan to be moved in in a week and start interviewing after that. Anyone here know much about the music venues in the area?

My girlfriend works at one of the premier venues here in the Twin Cities and wants it as a weekend job. Pop punk is her shtick, but we're both pretty open minded in regards to music. I really appreciate your help! We're getting a spreadsheet together for apartments to look at, next step is employment!

Any good trails down near Lake Powell, planning on a possible trip(not camping) for Labor Day. Can't decided if I should take the car and just rent an ATV or take my XJ down. Any info would help.
