I think it varies.

Sometimes I think the other "Jeeper" doesn't wave because they are busy in thought...

Or?

Well, I drive a 4-door JK and my wife drives a TJ. Occasionally, one of us gets caught looking the other direction or pointing out something that prevents us from seeing or returning the wave.

But, we have both passed a large number of CJ's, TJ's, etc. that don't return a wave. Nonetheless, I'm sorry to say that in our experience, JK drivers are probably the biggest offenders.

On my way to & from SnowShoe Jamboree... Jeepers were waving from the other side of the highway. Arms, thumbs up & hi signs were sticking out the window. Was great. Could see each other from a distance. I almost wave when I see another Jeep when I'm in my other car. Good habit. Frank (60Years)

I've had people from vehicles other than a Jeep wave to me while Im in my JK. I figure they're probably Wranglers owners used to waving and forgot that they're not in their Wrangler.


It's happen to me while driving the company van. The other Wrangler owner I waved to gave me a "second thought" wave at least, as I find that Women don't "ever" wave!

I did not know about the wave until I got my wrangler. It was strange at first seeing all of the jeeps waving at me however I figured it out and started initiating the wave myself. Being shunned by some, I asked my wife’s cousin about it. She gave me a snobbish (it was the tone in her voice and she’s no snob) answer by saying that 2 door owners won’t wave at the 4 door owners because they are not the real thing.

I am going to wave anyway.

I still think that the older wranglers haven't accepted the JK yet as well as they don't know it's a wrangler until they pass it and then see it is the new kid on the block. They will come around just give it time. I know I got a lot more waves in my CJ's then I did in any of my wranglers.

Violators!! We went for a ride on Saturday and passed about 15 jeeps. 2 JK's (both waved), 2 CJ's(no wave), about 7 TJs (2 waves), 3 YJ(no waves) and one sky high YJ that looked like it was gonna tip over going straight, he looked, shook his head and rolled his eyes... (we passed each other at about 5 mph at a red light) Man he pissed me off!!!!! I almost pulled a u-turn and was gonna run him down and make him drive ours!! ok, I feel better now that I vented a little, the shake of the head and rolling of the eyes was a little too much for me!
