A forbidden topic in our household. I was complaining to my Dad (A proud Wrangler-er) that nobody would return my Jeep wave except for Liberties. He then described to me why nobody would wave at me, using terms like "Sacrilege" and "Immoral." Does anybody ELSE do this, or am I really the only one?

 

My dad also has a wrangler and so does my sisters b/f so they like to gang up on me. They say my jeep isnt a real jeep and its a grandmas car but its been further in the woods so it is an ongoing battle.

 

i wave but only to cherokees that are built, if its stock i dont even bother because they usually dont understand. to tell you the truth i have probably gotten more waves from wranglers then i have from xjs. when im on the trail everyone waves.

 

Maybe people will warm up when I get tires/roofrack installed. I know most of the Cherokees I pass are grocery getters, poor things. Still, If I'm in a Cherokee and I wave at a Wrangler, I wouldn't still expect them to just pass me.

 

I wave to just about every jeep! most of the times the wrangler guys are quick to wave back, especialy the ones in lifted JK's . . i rarely get waves back from other xj owners especially lifted ones! so if you ever see a jeep that looks like mine and your in jersey throw me a wave and ill throw you a dollar!

 

i had a couple guys in a wrangler point and laugh at me when my doors were off so i gave them a big dumb smile and waved. i bet they were jealous

 

Don't hate us stockers.. some of us are saving and getting there!! 2.5" lift should be here in the next day or two. I think I'm pretty much marked and it's understood that I know the jeep thing, have CherokeeForum.com stickers plastered on my rear windows, and "Kryptic Offroad" in a banner on the front windshield, so I get a few waves.. not just bypassed as a stocker all the time!

 

so far i have only gotten the wave on the trail or if i recently came back and its covered in mud and dirt, then i get the wave from alotta people, even a few little econo cars :P

 

well you guys know what i mean when i say stock jeeps.

 

I personally think the "Jeep wave" is pretty gay. People do it to me and I ignore it. In fact, it seems to happen more and more. I'm driving. My eyes are focused on the road. I don't give a **** if you drive a Jeep. Get over it. I love Jeep but I sure as hell am not going to wave my hand like a fairy. If I feel like being social, I'll go to a bar.

 

Thats because you are from NJ, and therefore not human

I wave to any Jeep that isn't a liberty. Because Liberty's just aren't Jeeps.

 

Haha, so true on both counts. And at least those Libertys look a lot better than the new GCs. So sad but true.

 

agree with this fully....theres been how many threads on this now...who cares if you dont get a wave stop *****in and move on

 

I'm with these guys

 

i only get a give waves to ppl driving lifted XJs because there is a lot and i know most of them
