Default Jeep Wave? Too Tame

Instead of the meh Jeep wave, I got a arm and fist in the air. Fortunately, it was someone on here driving a lifted XJ with a fording snorkel. I see many XJ's on my drives but 99% of them are stockers with drivers without a clue. The other 1% are lifted and return waves if I'm aware of them.

I usually wave but never get waves back. I don't wave at the stockers because it's usually some middle-aged guy or grandma driving. There are two lifted Cherokees that drive around here in Yelm sometimes that have some shop's sticker on their windows, they never wave, bad PR if you ask me.

I generally wave to any legitimate offroad Jeep, Toyota, etc. Just not stock or mall crawlers.

Seems very insecure to not be friendly with Wranglers or Toyotas or whatever especially since most of us are int it just for fun. I admit a JK might be the line in the sand though. hahaha

I've gotten the arm and fist in the air. I thought that was more fun than the wave so I've been doing it even from my commute car lol

There are a ton of modified XJs where I live and I wave to all of them and they wave back. One day I had a guy in a lifted nissan titan give me a thumbs down. That's right, a guy in a lifted nissan titan was dissing a jeep. I laughed so hard I pissed a little.

I see so many nice xj's and I always want to wave but fear looking like a goob. One night a super nice lifted xj flashed his roof lights at me and I got so excited but my gf was driving and she wouldn't flash back..... Epic disappointment

Around here its strictly wrangler to wrangler waves... So it kinda works out for me. Drive the jk, I wave all day. Drive the xj no waves.

That cracks me up, I see a bunch of XJ's around town, always give a thumbs up or wave. I see more when I'm in my DD and want to give thumbs up, but you know they'd think I was some dusch.... I also give thumbs up to most lifted rigs, Wrangler guys are the worse....

I seen you down the road and recognized your rig. If my window wasn't so slow, I would've matched ya. It still made my day.
