I sometimes look in the rearview mirror and wave at myself.

Yes, wave I would. End of thread!

Don’t be a snob.

I have a strict rule, I only wave on days that end in y

The Jeep Wrangler community is widely known for its relaxedness, until it comes to the wave.

The Jeep (Wrangler) wave.

Gladiators have since been indoctrinated into the wave. We are not letting anyone else in.

They must purchase either a Wrangler or Gladiator to be a part of the gun club.

It’s tradition. Don’t break it.

Now, if your neighbor waves at you, a friend, whatever then of course regardless of what they are driving.

But that wasn’t the initial question. Don’t water this down.

My wife was with me the other day and I waved at a pretty girl driving a Gladiator. She waved and smiled back. Having been married for over 30 years, I was waiting on a reaction from the wife but nope, nothing. The Wave has it's benefits.

I would wave to any Jeep that waves at me. That said I will not initiate a wave unless it's a Wrangler/Gladiator I see coming. You wouldn't get a wave 99% of the time in return if you waved at everything else.

I remember a few years back with my JK I seen a very nice modded older Grand Cherokee passing by. I remarked to myself it was a really nice Jeep. We pass by, he waves, and I basically froze since he caught me off guard. I still feel bad over that one.

Why won't this thread die? I log in to multiple notifications about people liking my post from last month...... about how this is stupid!

When driving my CJs, I rarely initiated a wave to anything other than a CJ, or some older vintage 4x4 regardless of make. (Although I'd typically wave back if some Wrangler owner waved.)

I recall one day driving my 1970 CJ-5 down 290 expressway out of Chicago, and a guy in an old IH Scout 800 (that's prior to the more commonly seen Scout II) pulled up, and we both gave a wave and thumbs up.

A new Wrangler or 4x4 is mostly about coming up with some cash to buy it. But there is a kind of camaraderie and appreciation for keeping an old 4x4 operating and driving around, that in my book transcends the make. So maybe there is a Jeep wave, but also an old 4x4 wave as well.

We have officially ran out of things to talk about....

I drove a lifted, modified Cherokee TrailHawk until earlier this year. I’d get waves from Wranglers, so I’m happy to wave at other Jeeps. Especially if they are built up. I’ve seen some impressive work with the little Renegades.

Unless they drive a Prius If they question you about not waving, you just respond with "O that was you? Sorry I didn't recognize you. All Prius look the same"

After reading threads like this I feel like punching myself in the face a couple of times. But that's just me...

Wave at whatever you like. I wave at anyone that waves at me, and whatever else. I've waved at oldschool FJs and newer FJ cruisers too. And that crazy old dude with his super old G wagon. And cool cars. Those dudes that have like, a hotrod model A.. and have the guts to drive it around in crazy LA traffic. Mad respect!
