Default The Jeep Wave

In 3 years I've only gotten 1 person in an XJ to ever wave to me and he waved first. JK drivers are completely out of the question, and when i even begin to nod or wave to a TJ/YJ/CJ driver they look the other way or rev their engines like they are better than me. Has anyone ever gotten the wave from a wrangler driver first?

I wave to all jeeps in my 2004 TJ.

i have only gotten 1 in the three months i've had it and i waved first. most are either rude or oblivious.

I don't even waste my time with the newer ones no matter what model they are.
but i always look to wave.

Yea i only get acknowledged by other lifted xjs seams the stock guys are just clueless to what a badass machine they have ha ha but it is a little weird even some people with lifted xjs still are ******** or just look at you like (do i know you?)

Funny because any time im on my gsxr every biker gives me the duces

And every time im in my e36 bmw and i drive by another e36 we go crazy and sometime pull over to exchange a list of mods we have done to our cars chat or what not

I wave to any jeeps except the new patriots, libertys, and compas. Most of the time they wave back especially if you can tell they 4x4. The jk owners really wave I see quite a few where I live and mostly all of them wave. It just depends on the person driving. I could care less if they don't wave back though.

Whenever I wave at Jeeps, its almost like they're shocked and it takes a second to sink in...but by that time, I'm passed them so I dont get a wave back.

I wave at any modded Jeep and get plenty of waves back. You just have to be persistent!

I typically will only wave at lifted rigs. Most XJ's out here in Colorado wave when I wave.

The biker wave is the best. I ride a Kawasaki but even the Harley guys will wave. The only guys that don't wave most of the time are the Goldwing guys. But they are probably too busy adjusting their stereo, climate control, intercom system, ride comfort, or coffee mug warmer.
