I have also noticed no one waves anymore. When I had my TJ years back the wave was common. Fast forward to 2021 and I rarely get a wave back. I think it’s largely due to every 4th vehicle on the road being a wrangler today. I have always been a fan of the wave, on the motorcycle and on the boat I always wave and often get a wave back. Jeep wave is struggling these days.

Only generation of Jeep that fairly consistently doesn’t do the Jeep wave for me is TJ’s. I think most TJ owners think that the TJ is the end all be all of Jeep’s and anything after it isn’t considered a Jeep to them. Guess it didn’t help that they released the 4 door wrangler and the minivan motor at the same time in 2007.

We're new to Jeeps and the wave & I love it. People don't always reciprocate but I don't care. My wife tells me my wave is way too enthusiastic so I've brought it down to just a finger wave.

OK this has turned into yet another Jeep Wave thread. As we know the basic wave top has been discussed at nauseum. :puke: I was more trying to zero in on the lack of waves for a non moded Jeep, but OK lets have at it.

I'll bet if you drive around in 30 degrees in your Nacho with the top and doors removed you will get lots of waves, and total strangers will toss quarters at you, too...

:LOL:

Some people really get hurt if you don’t wave back. Wow! That’s exactly why I don’t bother. If the wave for you is about self validation from some insecurity you have, I don’t want anything to do with the likes of you. There was a time when it wasn’t like that and things have changed so I’m out. If I’m in living in your head rent free because I didn’t wave back, you might belong in a Netflix docuseries.

When I was living in LA not many people would wave or wave back, now that I live in the mountains of Big Bear Lake almost all do. Must be the mountain air and woods that brings the nature of the Wrangler family out in people.

Here in Scottsdale It's about a 1/3 of Jeeps wave. Lots of them are bought just as a status symbol. If it rains I need it just to get home as I'm out in the desert. Other Nacho's always wave!
