The wave is meant to encourage a sense of community. We are different then most people and need to celebrate that fact.
Don't make such a big deal out of it, keep waving and spread the gospel. Do not take it so personal, maybe they don't get it, are talking on the hands free, or not noticing you, etc. why should you feel bad? How do you know they don't feel stupid because they missed the wave until it was too late to return it?
In the early sixties hot rodders did the thumbs up then in the mid-sixties I got my first HD and it didn't take long to get the bikers salute. Then I noticed some guys didn't return because of no mods, wrong model, no colors, etc.
Don't worry about the Jeep wave, just do it!

Keep waving man. Don't be so sensitive to think that modded Jeeps don't like your stock Jeep. Jeeps are Jeeps. Just because someone doesn't wave back doesn't mean they don't like your stock Jeep. Hell they might have been paying attention to something else and didn't see your Jeep altogether. Keep the dream alive and keep waving.

It's funny you say that, I work for the Power Co. and I catch myself going for the wave in my line truck. It's just habit and like someone said in an earlier post it's better to give than receive so when people don't wave back don't get too excited

Personally I do the Peace Sign off the wheel and if my doors are off I do the lower Peace Sign(like I do on my Harley) but out the door. However you're going to see alot of variations out there

I agree the wave is similar to riding my Harley, when on it I wave to all two-wheeled motorcycles - don't care of make or model; and yes I get more waves back from Harley riders, but we are all in the wind.
With the Jeep I wave at any Wrangler 'type' modified or not; new or old, but again I notice the 'soccer mom' driven (usually 4 door models) wave back less - I'm a giving person
so I don't care if they do or don't.
