or maybe they have been jeep owners long before many JL owners even had Driver's licenses and don't give two shits about waving :).....come to Montana where jeeps out number your average vehicle and the only time we wave is if you are driving under 90mph in the fast lane and then it is with the middle finger :).....as we pass you on the right.....again all in fun....:)
Montana sounds a lot like Texas!!

I'm currently driving a 2006 and I wave at every Jeep. I just found out the newest one is supposed to wave first, but oh well, I'll just keep waving. Soon I won't have to worry about that rule!
I'm not going to bother taking the time to figure out who goes first. Seems like most of the time when someone waves, I'm invariably in the middle of changing lanes, or fiddling with controls, so my hand isn't on top of the steering wheel, but I wave when I can.

Today I learned that some people wave when there's more than one lane in each direction!

I don't wave across medians or center lanes, but when we are both in left lanes, it makes sense. I just always seem to get caught in a bad position.

I thought the wave was just snapped in to your DNA when you signed the paper work for your Jeep.

I stopped at a restaurant to eat, and a mom and her little boy were walking through the parking lot, and the little guy was cranking his arm up and down at me, I didn't want to pull the air horn, because there were people eating outside. The kid looked so anxious and I would've felt bad if I didn't, so I laid the two note warning on the air horn and the kid jumped up and down with excitement and that made me smile, although I think someone on the patio might have spilled some food in their lap.
Years ago I was coming off the south side of Sexton Pass, in the Siskiyous, near Grants Pass, OR, when a Mini Van passed me, with about 5 kids in it, all doing the arm pump, Mom saw what they were doing, so it wasn’t going to startle her. I went to give them a double toot, when the valve for the air horn stuck open, yeah the cars around me scattered, for some reason they just didn’t want to be neat a tractor trailer coming down a mountain pass with the air horn blaring nonstop 🤔

Those dayum Intertrashionals in the 80’s and 90’s had garbage air horn valves, I had three of those do that to me, in 36 years of driving, those were the only trucks that I had that happen with

yup a lot like Texas only cooler and no tornadoes or hurricanes or southern borders, altho those Canadians keep trying to sneak in from the North, so we do have problems with them coming in and trying to drink all our beer.....Texas does have Shiner bock beer and some of the best singer/song writers...We both have rattlesnakes so that is something....true story I sold a camper to a guy from Texas who drove all the way from Texas to Montana to get it. He was a bit late and he told me he got bit by a rattlesnake and I thought he was bullshitting and he pulled up his pant leg and his leg was all swollen and black....I was like you better get to the hospital and he said it was just a small one so he would be ok....this was him driving away with my camper. oh another funny story...he asked if I was carrying and I smiled and said "maybe" and he proceeded to pull out 3 different handguns he had on his person and four or five knives....I would have liked to have a few beers with him as he was pretty funny.

Soccer Moms killed the Jeep wave. On a more serious note, just chill and wave. If they don’t return it, who cares. No the Jeep community isnt what it once was.
