My co-workers are asking "what are them ducks for in jeeps"

I told them, " it's when one dude is into another dude with a jeep". If you keep a bunch of ducks on your dash then youre into alot of dudes, not just one.


Edit to clarify: I don't partake in the ducking with anyone regardless of gender. I think it could be a sign of the apocalypse.

Ha ha. I don’t get the whole duck thing. I see some folks driving around with a dash FULL of ducks, but a very plain Jeep. I know that they bought all those ducks themselves.

may be for giving out to other jeeps. Might as well display them if it's something you're into, until you find a jeep you like to give one to.

A lot of times they get bombarded with ducks at Jeep meet ups.

Wife and I noticed the amount of ducks seems to be directly proportional to how stock your jeep is. Stock jeep, tons of dash ducks, basically ruined ducks for me at this point lol.

Tell its part of the Jeep cult indoctrination

All I see is oil that could have been used for precious fuel.

I've seen it both ways and honestly stock jeeps look pretty good compared to what some people do to their jeeps.

One odd thing though that happened just the other day was an older, early 2000's work truck was behind me. Iam thinking an f150 but couldn't be sure and he a row of ducks on his dash that I could clearly see in my rear view mirror.

The whole thing is weird to me and Iam surprised Harley guys aren't doing too by now.

I love the dash over flowing with ducks on bone stock jeeps LOL

Where would you put your ducks on a Harley?

Hot glue it on your leather seat where you sit, to keep it nice and warm. Or you could put it in your black leather saddle bags next to your diabeetus medication.

"My co-workers are asking "what are them ducks for in jeeps""

You should correct them. Do you mean "for what purpose are those ducks"? And then you should run.

The whole ducking thing seems a little strange to me. Waving, though, is like second nature because I grew up in the country and we waved at everyone, not just Jeeps, 'cause we knew who they were.

I bought my Gladiator a few weeks ago. It is bone stock. Day two, I took it to Home Depot for a project I’m working on. When I came out, there was a little polka dot duck seated on my door handle. I wondered what the heck that was for so I googled it. “Ducking” was the answer I got. I’m very a much a “too each, his own” kind of guy but let’s just say, I’m not displaying cute little rubber duckies on my Jeep dash. My dog however, chewed it’s head off so I think he’s into the ducking.

I bought my first Jeep in June. I always like to know what I am saying or what I am doing like "SNAFU" is a vulgar (not that I mind) expression from WWII while "balls to the wall" or "cold enough to freeze the balls of a brass monkey" have nothing to do with testicles. Knowing Jeeps have the wave and the ducks, I read into why while passing the few months before I made my purchase:

- the Wave is from WWII. Usually low ranked soldiers were driving higher ranked people in what became known as a Jeep. The were supposed to salute but, getting shot at all day with no sleep, it became the two finger wave in lieu of a salute. I now do The Wave.

- the ducks came from someone in Canada who out a duck on someone’s car (I think during COVID) and it made the person‘s day so they put it on social media and it went viral. A gesture of kindness like a "hello". Maybe it makes me an ass but I don’t do the ducks.

Of course, I got both of those explanations off a Google search so they may be BS or not-quite-accurate explanations. If someone has a tighter story, please correct mine.
