I get most of my waves back from lifted Cherokee's. Th other day was great I pulled into a 7-11 and parked next to another lifted Cherokee and we just sat there and talked about our Heep's for like an hour.

I live in a small town, people are always wheelin' and dealin' so usually they're driving something diffrent every weekend. So not always do you know who is passing you. If i dont wave, i typically just swerve at them lol.

Only XJ owners that wave to me here are the ones I know personally.
The part of town I work in though (campus) is full of Jeep owners, and I park in the same area for work and when I go places on the south end of town. One time there were five XJs parked in a row around mine. Made my day after a crappy one at work.

This is a dollar store toy, and some red electrical tape. I have another one for my XJ, just need time to install.

I never wave at others and have had none wave at me. I will change my ways and I will wave at every jeep I see, I vow this on my jeeps honor......this will be done.

I still get a ton of waves here and I aways wave back. But there are very few lifted xj's here so we get like "ooooohhhh check it out" when we see another.

it's a wrangler thing.
if you want to get waves, buy a wrangler.

when in my xj, i only get waves from the lifted xj's that i know.

when in my tj, i get waves from every wrangler on the road. even the middle aged soccer moms in their shiny stock jk's.

I have to give credit to my friend that got me into jeeps. We were out in his wrangler and I see him waving to all sorts of people (didn't realize they were all jeeps), and I said, damn dude you know everybody, lol. He goes nah, it's the jeep wave, I had never heard of it before (wasn't a jeep owner at the time either). So I got a little history lesson from him that day, lol. I wave and I get about a 50/50 of wave backs.
