But I wave to all Wranglers... it is sad that people have stock Jeeps though.. most of them are clueless on what they can actually do with their Jeep. Some never see a dirt road or a trail<--- this makes baby Jesus cry!!!!

After around year 3 of Jeep ownership, I cared a lot less about the wave. I try to keep up, but I could care less if its returned.

Miata owners are better about waving.

They're not waving they're trying to keep their toupee on.

Most people don't wave back when they see the badge, while on my way to work. But on a different note, why not wave at stock jeeps?!? I've only had mine for a little over a month and have been saving up money to purchase lift/tires/bumpers...etc. already have new wheels. Never know that stock jeep you're not waving at might pull you out of a stuck moment one day.

It's the Jeep community. It's not the lifted/winch/large tires/Jeep Wrangler* community. I wave at all Jeeps. I wave at them even if I know (based on their not returning the wave in the past) they won't wave back. I've also been known to wave at the occasional FJ, Xterra or Hummer, provided it was obviously modified for overlanding/expedition travel. I guess I'm just a friendly sucker.

*Please study your Jeep history if you think all Jeeps are Wranglers.

My new jeep will not have a lift, winch or other items. It gets me into my favorite trails and fishing spots. It won't climb rocks either. I still wave at every jeep I see, even the ones I'm passing on the highway. Besides just because jeeps have a lift and winches don't mean they know what to do with them
