Majority of JK's in my neck of the woods of Sierra Nevada Foothills Northern CA, rarely wave. Did get a single wave today from a lady in a nice expedition looking JK.

I have a JK and I ran into an old head driving an old CJ today. I initiated the wave and he rolled his eyes and begrudgingly waved back! It was the highlight of my day.

Understandable assumption, I've always wanted a jeep since I was young. However being a father at the age of 17 finances wouldn't allow it. I'm now 24 with three children and very happily married. The 2dr just wasn't practical for me anymore. So I made my dream come true and bought a JKU. After a year of living the jeep lifestyle and loving it my wife wanted a jeep too. Nothing sexier than that so now we both drive JKUs as daily drivers. However our JKUs do see the trails and not just pavement, but I think the most important part is how much our kids love our jeeps. It could be freezing outside and they want to take the top off, or go on fishing and camping trips every weekend. So back to your post, yes there are a lot of soccer moms driving JKUs, but just keep in mind some of us are just raising the next generation of jeepers! My oldest son already told me he wants a rubi for his 16th birthday. That sir makes daddy proud.

It is rare that us XJ guys wave to you guys. Unless you wave first, no way is the XJ going to wave back.
Now I also have a jk, and i get a good amount of people waving back. One of the big dealers here used to tell people about it.

I drove a 1994 Jeep XJ and had K9 in the back seat. It had a cool logo on its side, blue lights on the top, and a siren. I never got a wave but do remember getting the finger a time or two!
