When your family spots a fellow oncoming Gladiator, do you?

So do you wave when one passes you and doesn't stop to let you in on a busy street? Or does that never happen? If that never happens, that could sway me on getting a gladiator sooner rather than later. WRX have a wave, but a WRX didn't let me onto a street that's impossible to get onto. I wasn't waving.

I say "oh cool a wrangler" and wave enthusiastically, and then it goes passed or I get I side profile and I say "oh crap, it's another JT!" And then I try to get their attention. Except in certain trims, I have a hard time telling us apart from head on.

Just went to Ohio and back (1,300+ miles) and I probably noticed 99% of them that we passed. My girlfriend tries to spot them before I do, but I'm usually searching for them, lol. It's nearly an obsession. Her daughter did call out a few, too. (When she wasn't on her phone, lol!)

Blinker location! Best way to identify.

My wife seems to have an eye for spotting gladiators. She gave the sign of the horns. I let that go for a while, it was fun to watch ?.

When we pass another gladiator my son will either yell higher or lower, depending on whether we're taller than them or not. With the 39's its not often he says lower :rock:

My kids are grown and almost never in a vehicle with us. But I still get excited when I see another Jeep CJ, TJ, Wrangler or Gladiator and I always wave. Why not? I can be a curmudgeon or part of the community!

Ever since I knew I wanted one, I'd say, "Oooh, GLadiator!" whever one passed by or if we drove by one. I still do it now... to the point that it annoys my wife. LOL...
The other day we were in the middle of a pretty heated argument, and I spotted one and said, "Oooh, Gladiator!"... I think I even said it breaking up my own sentence. The wife was not amused.

We resemble this remark. ;-)
