Default What do you do?

So I know how the Jeepers have our wave between all the different versions (Jks, Tjs etc) but I was wondering how many people acknowledge other versions, like the XJ...I don't mean to wave or anything, but even a head nod to a really nicely done up XJ, out of respect...I passed one on the road today and he looked to be running about 4-6" of lift and 37s w/ bumpers and the lot...I figured least I could do was give him a head nod, as it was a nicely done truck...Do you guys do any of that or no dice?

There are a few built up vehicles in the area (Not bling but off road ready) if I see them I usually give them a nod and and almost always get one back. Chances are they wheel and around here Rausch Creek is about the only spot to go other than the Jersey Pins so chances are you may see them on the trail so why not be friendly.

I certainly appreciate a nicely modified Non-Wrangler Jeep (or even other makes), but don't wave or anything unless on the trail.

If it's nicely built and not a Wrangler I give em a head nod. If they are a Wrangler they get the wave as long as it is not on LP tires and big chromed out rims... those guys get the finger or shake of disapproval.

I wave only to the Wranglers (CJ/YJ/TJ/JK) and sometime to the built up Cherokees

I have noticed that in the Montreal area, Jeepers wave only to the mod. Wranglers (not the stock Wranglers)

I'll definitely wave to built Cherokees. Even if I dont they usually wave first and I will always return one. Other makes that are built will get a nod, especially on the trail.

I wave at ALL Wranglers. Most of the time, they don't wave back. Every now and then, I catch somebody who actually ACTS like they know what the Jeep wave is though.

Where I live I wave at anything with a green plate, never know when a neighbor will get a new ride. All Wranglers, good builds of any make, and pretty ladies.

I wave at all Wranglers, a lot of the stock older tj's and yj's dont wave back, If I see a nice modded XJ, there a few around here, I will wave and they always wave back. You never know when you may need help on a trail and being friendly helps .

Had to tow this poor guy out about 6.5mi after he broke his lower control arm off his axle and bent his upper

Now I typically only wave to wranglers, they pretty much always wave back, I've never gotten a wave from any other Jeep model, including the XJs (I have one of those too). If it's a modded XJ I still try to wave though.
