do you wave at other cherokees?
I live in the gilbert/mesa area in Arizona. Every time i see an xj i honk and wave at em and smile they think im a weirdo. I always thought it was a "jeep thing" but i guess not does the wave only apply to wrangler owners? Do Cherokee owners wave at each other too? I dont feel the newer jeeps deserve "the wave" Theres been a couple times where i yelled "jeep brothaaaa!!!!" At a cherokee and the guy just smiled and honked back and waved it felt so good. i like the brotherhood. What other vehicles share comradery? Is there any xj clubs in Az?

I used to wave at all Cherokees and wranglers but not I'm to the point now where I only wave at members of my club. Never heard of anyone honking every time they see a jeep though haha

If I see one coming down the road, I make a series of quick judgments to determine if the driver is actually a "Jeep" person and would acknowledge the wave. Most of the time, it's old women and men, or people who just aren't jeep people and the jeep is all stock, etc. I only wave to modded Cherokees.

I've given waves across a huge freeway and got them back haha. It's all about how much attention your jeep draws. I have a lightbar and always get waves with it on, but when I take it off there's not much that makes my jeep stand out when it's coming down the road.
Either way, I always wave at other modded Cherokees, GC's, and wranglers. Also I sometimes catch myself waving at really old men driving beautiful stock Cherokees haha

I was driving on the car side of the turnpike. Its three lanes driving south, a metal divider, then three truck/car lanEs going south.
I was on the car side and a lift and modded jk driving on the truck side gave a honk, wave and thumbs up to me. This was when my jeep was painted mud
