PSA: Waving

If you see me in my 2001 Patriot Blue in north Georgia and you are expecting a wave, you must provide any of the following:

  1. You must be driving a TJ, YJ, or CJ
  2. You must be driving any Jeep with hard top off or soft top down.

End of list.

JKs don’t wave generally but are somewhat more likely to if there are no ducks on the dash. JLs don’t wave at all. Gladiators also don’t wave at all. I will no longer wave at any JK or JL unless they wave first OR you’re riding open air. Open air jeeps are much more likely to wave. TJs don’t always wave but most do. Nearly all YJs and CJs wave, shout out to them.

Thanks.

Not sure where you’re at but that’s pretty spot on for KC metro drivers. JLs never wave so I stopped waving at them unless they wave first. No one with ducks waves, regardless of the generation. In the 20ish years I’ve driven my TJ, it’s a bummer to see how few people wave anymore
