Always waving here...had a guy in a green sahara jk follow me on the highway untill i saw him and waived back After that he got off the highway so to all, and i love the LED waving lights...i usually flash the brights if they are passing me, but somehow i dont think thats a good idea. What about just a simple mod where on head light flashes off like a wink I had thought about that when i first got my jk

I wave all the time, highway or not... its fun to catch a wave at 60+ MPH and Chrysler should definetely incorporate the Jeep Wave in their marketing...imagine all the waves we would get

Man NO ONE waves in Alaska I got one very enthusiastic wave from a lady in a JK, but every other Jeep just seems to ignore me. I stopped waving after getting either no looks or very odd looks. Maybe I need a lift and 35s (well I know I need those).

You'll probably get a wave when you least expect it so don't give up!!

Exactly. Their Jeep knows you waved. Even if they don't.

I have a 92 yj with many mods and I use to get waves all the time. Now that I also have my (still stock)jk those same people and more don't wave at me. I try waving at old and new jeeps and hardly ever get a wave back. I have gotten to the point where I don't even try to wave anymore then all of the sudden someone waves at me when I'm not ready . Then again I usually only wave at moded jeeps myself because most people driving jeeps havn't got a clue anyway. Maybe that will all change when the lift and tires finally show up.

Not only will you get some waves but you'll get some looks! Maybe your mods will "inspire" others to mod out their jeeps too...you'll have more waves in no time either way
