Talking Friendly Jeepers

When I use to drive a wrangler other wranglers would wave at me on the road. When I ditched the wrangler (Because of rusty frame) and got my first XJ nobody that drove a Jeep would wave at a plain old stock XJ even if I waved first. ok Now that I have a lift Now I get waves from any Jeep that has a lift or covered in mud whatever.. I think it's cool that the trail people wave on the highway "like it's a JeeP cult or something" Something to do with that saying? ( It's a JeeP thing you would'int understand ) Tell me how you guy/girls respond.

These days I just wave at lifted Jeeps... To many collage barbies riding around in TJ's and grocery getting XJ's to wave at them. But I did lay waste to a bunch of collage kids in a slightly lifted YJ this last summer. Great looks when the Father with kids in an XJ showed them what a real Jeep can do with a competent driver behind the wheel.
