Looks like we future Gladiator owners will be welcomed into "Jeep Waving". Not that I was really worried about it. For those that have never owned a CJ or Wrangler you will be acknowledged by a wave of comradery. And as such you will be expected to reciprocate. Its great and a welcoming part of the community. Now if we can only get our Gladiators ASAP

Wait...do all Jeep drivers wave at each other or just certain models?

That's good to hear. I was growing more and more concerned and anxious about it. Do I wave, not wave, wave first, wave in response, pretend I'm texting on my phone and not see them, wave with both hands. Will the other jeep driver know that I've owned 3 other jeeps? Maybe they will think I jumped on the new jeep wrangler bandwagon. Maybe we should have some sort of rank or insignia on our windshield to let other jeepers know how deep in the game we are... like # of jeeps - # of years. so I'm 3-11 this year! lol 3 jeeps and 11 years of ownership (sadly, I was jeep-less for a period of time).

hahaha - all meant in good fun, but I do support the jeep windshield rank idea. lol

Edit:

Or it could be # of jeeps currently owned, # of jeeps previously owned, # of years of jeep ownership.

So... 1-2-11. When I get the JT my window sticker will either be 2-2-11 or (sadly) 1-3-11.​

It’s a CJ, YJ, TJ, JK, JL and soon JT thing... I never been waved by a Cherokee!

The Gladiator aspect from front is so similar that we will be part of the club for sure, intentionally or even by "mistake"...

Like a star for each Jeep? In the Jeep’s military tradition...

We could add a number in each star representating the duration of ownership for each... but we would have to change it for each Jeep we still possess!!!

Hope you’re not crossing a police’ Jeep!!!

You all need to seek professional help. Srsly. I dont give one Frick if some tool waves at me or not. However, if you wave at me I will wave back. Most importantly, I will pull over and assist if another Jeep is in trouble.

We all are seeking help, we joined a forum for jeep gladiator addiction. I see you are here too! lol

the wave hasnt taken off over here but the other day i was driving my cj10 & got a wave from a wrangler
but mostly I get a wave from other old school 4x4's not brand specific just people who love the old vehicles like me

Whatever makes you happy.
Kinship, brother/sisterhood, friendship. I don't do it, in a Jeep or on a motorcycle.
Too busy watching out for the unfriendly drivers.

Now you're onto something. Mine will be 1-1-1

I bet a bunch of wranglers will do the wave, then mid wave realize it's a truck and be befuddled. Should I keep waving, stop waving, do a cut throat gesture, flip em the bird. Oh the humanity!
