That would be funny, although I think you'd just look crazy to them because I think most people just don't know about the wave. To them you'd just be some random person flicking them off, not that there is anything wrong with that lol. This is a problem of the general public not knowing about the Jeep wave. Now that the wrangler is more plushy more of the yuppies can drive one, they don't know they are supposed to wave. We have to educate them.

I just bought mine about 2 months ago (2013 JKU Sport). It's still all stock (except replaced the wheels and put mudders on it), but this thing is my new baby and it will now receive the full attention of my wallet in the coming years. I was excited to become part of the jeep family, and it view it just like that...a family. Sometimes you have awesome members of a family, but there's always an a$$hat or two. I wave at every jeep I see, and here in OKC...I'd say 6 times out of 10, they wave back. When they wave back, I feel the love and continue on my way. If they don't....no worries. I still love my jeep and that's what matters to me. To those who think its beneath them to wave to stock or JKUs....some of us love our jeeps just as much as you do and take pride in the tradition we are all part of. Just sayin...

Update: The Jeep wave is still pretty much dead in my area of Southern WV, but I took a trip to Canonsburg PA a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. The wave is very much alive up there. Maybe there is hope yet.

This hit the nail on the head. Sometimes, I wish my winch and bumper were replaced with a cattle guard so I could mow down every soccer mom driving a jeep who thinks she's driving a grand caravan. I say any time we see a Non - jeep enthusiast driving a jeep, we run them off the road. That way, they'll finally realize what jeeps are meant for (off roading) and we can release some anger.
Let me guess....you used to ride the small bus to school didn't you?
Drive your Jeep how and where you want and let others enjoy theirs the way they want!

In Albuquerque its about 3/4 wave back. I get waves more from chicks than dudes. Grumpy old dudes in their TJ's and CJ's say F it I'm not waving to anyone. But that's cool. It's fun to be cruising and a cute chick pulls up beside you and gives you a wave. It makes for a good day.
I have noticed it comes from the modified wranglers more often than stock. I'd say about 90% on waves from a moded ride.
Just chiming in.
