Honestly I think a lot of jk owners are new to jeeps and don't know the tradition. I honestly get more waves from cj and tj owners. And some people are just a-holes...

Well, it does make it easier to spot the dushe bags. We can't count on them to always wear a polo shirt with the collar popped up.

It's alive here in Maryland and I'm a stock Jeep and I wave all of the time and get lots of waves back from modded and stock Jeeps of all vintage.

Well send me a couple grand then so I can be a "real" jeeper.

Yeah, the JK's appeal to a new segment (the truck and SUV masses). The TJ's were the end of an era in that regard. I still wave, but only the mod'd JK's wave back usually.

Default I'm waving at the Jeep NOT the driver.

I'm waving at the Jeep NOT the driver. I pay homage to the JEEP and wave at every one. Not all Jeep drivers are Jeepers and some Jeepers are douche bags so I wave at the JEEP itself - that way I'm happy regardless!

I concur. Funny thing I got snubbed today by a lifted TJ but 2 miles down the road I got a wave (she initiated) from a grandma driving a stock JKU Sahara. Go figure!

I always wave, and get it back more often than not.

Well said moalder.

And to htweelz: I'm with you 100% as soon as anyone wants to pay for my mods then they can say who is a "real" jeeper and who isn't. Unfortunatley I'm all stock and will be for a while (not for lack of wanting to add stuff) I have other responsibilites that trump mods! on man...on
