UNOFFICIAL USE ONLY BRINGS IT AT SEMA

Greg Henderson, the President of Unofficial Use Only, took a step back for one of their SEMA builds this year…back to utilizing some tried and true suspension systems on a brand new Jeep JL!

Love this badging!

Original J18

According to Unofficial Use Only, the J18 is a vehicle design based on the need for a utilitarian based go anywhere vehicle. Capable of tackling trails, towing and hauling all of your gear, and getting you to and from your destination without the need of a separate tow vehicle. All of the parts used on the UUO J18 are actual Chrysler parts manufactured for the Jeep J8 military vehicle (heavy duty Dana 44 front axle, Dana 60 rear axle, 3/16 stamped steel military wheels, leaf springs, integrated stamped steel hood snorkel, simple and effective military bumpers, helicopter lift hooks/d-rings.

Pictures don’t do this Jeep justice. The attention to detail is awesome and it was built and designed in only a month!

We think it turned out great!

Specializing in marketing, visibility, relationship and brand building, and acting as MetalCloak's field marketing representative, I have travelled across the country (quite a few times!) using Metalcloak’s CTI (Corner Travel Index) to educate the off road enthusiast. I have also worked with Jeep Jamboree USA as event staff, to provide additional value and education to its participants. I've been fortunate enough to work with both international as well as domestic media; have attended most of the off-road events across our country; and have driven a wide variety of vehicles.
