I wave at all other Jeeps, with the biggest saved for all XJs.
Its all part of that "Jeep Thing" Its the only brand I know where other Jeepers will tell you that you dont drive a real jeep because its not modded or a wrangler or whatever. They wont wave for the same reason. When I had my Tacoma ten years ago I got waves all day long from other toyota truck drivers and 4runners. When I had my Chevy 4x4 I got waves from tons of GM guys. Never heard one tell another they dont wave for some dumb ***** reason. Anyway, its all part of that "Jeep Thing"

out here in nebraska just about everybody waves at everyone else unless they are stuck up turds. I get the wheeler waves if I am driving my modded lifted cherokee, when I'm in my stock jeep all I get is the half wave which is the regular hello wave everyone gives. I don't drive my modded jeep that much,it is LOUD, and the tires absolutly howl on asphalt, I think it pisses people off quite a bit, except for other off roaders...

I wave at most other Jeeps I see on the road but in the four months I have had my xj, I have only gotten one wave back and it was from a fellow xj driver. Most of the time I either get the confused "do I know you" look or a disgusted f***k you look, used to burn me up a little, now I just shrug and keep on goin.

What I dont understand is the hierarchy...

Cherokee's sold more than any other Jeep... And at the least, shouldn't the Cherokee be above the TJ and YJ? I mean... we do have a couple years on them...

Has anyone ever gotten the wave from a wrangler driver first?

I wave to all jeeps in my 2004 TJ.
i dont wave

I wave at all Jeeps, but most of the time only modded xj's wave back. But I got one of these of ebay and stuck it to the upper corner of the windshield just in case.
