The truth I am pretty damn in love with my jeep still, and I turn the deal down! So looks like I won't be selling my jeep anymore. Thanks to all of you Who were trying to encourage me and trying to keep it. Thanks guys!!
Great decision! KEEP WAVING!!!!

That's funny. I've had a few lifted Cherokees wave at me. I always wave back.

The jku killed the wave. Suddenly all the wannabes were able to buy one to replace the family minivan. And the soccer mom's couldn't care less about waving or even waving back at jeepers. After owning 2 yjs and a tj at one point in my life, I will be the first to admit that the 4 door is a million time more comfortable and useful than a 2 doors. But those exact reasons explain why they are now driven by non caring individuals who like the looks and statement that a jeep provides, but never had any intentions to abide by the jeep brotherhood. Most times, they will rent the jeep for 2-3 years and move- on to something else.

Exactly what I've been trying to say. (Without insulting the rest of the jku owners.)

That, sadly, is only half the story. The other half is two door owners who refuse to return wave to a four door. I ignore their rudeness, and continue to wave my fool head off--even them when I know in advance they won't wave. I get about a 50% return..

Never been the soccer mom type. We wanted our kids to experience the jeep lifestyle. They both love the trails and have had a blast seeing everyone wave. Most girls circle jewelry in flyers as hints for Christmas, I circle mods for the jeep!

[i mean I always go up to camp Pendleton California (USMC BASE) and every one I see with a jeep no matter what year or how old it is, they always seem to wave. I love that!
