Everyone waves at everyone else here in Montana, so I never know what's a Jeep Wave and what isn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is interesting, I live in a Blue Collar county, and the number of jeeps you see is relatively low...When I dive to see my doctor in a more affluent county, there are tons of jeeps of all kind...
I also found out today, the Gladiator Rubicon I see every time I go to the Doctors office - and what got me interested in purchasing my soon to come Mojave, belongs to one of the doctors.
I can see why the jeeps are more ubiquitous in affluent counties after I signed the contract for my Mo'. Doctors and retired engineers can afford these things, but I think they are pricing them so rediculously high these days (and other truck manufactures too) that there are more "yuppies" and what not driving them than your average Joe (around here anyway)...Most of the former, I think, look at it more as a "symbol" (fill in your own interpretation
) than something they want to take in the Dirt.
Hypothesis being here
, the more expensive these Trucks get, the less waves you will see. 
At ant rate, remember what Alan Jackson sang:
"Livin' on love, buyin' on time
Without somebody (or some Jeep ) nothing ain't worth a dime."

^^^ This is just because they recognize it's you!" Lol
But seriously, I get waves about 50% of the time. Funny thing is when I had my JKL it didn't seem like I ever got them. In the Gladiator I have had a couple guys sustaining in their front yard smile and give me a thumbs up. Nice.

I suppose if you've manufactured it in your own mind....
...the pissy assholes I meet in life certainly don't have Trump stickers

I kinda consider the wave as salute to another in uniform. That uniform is in the shape of a Jeep now, instead of the one I wore for 20 in USAF.
When you wave, you signal that you recognize the sheet metal worn by the driver, and understand that driving on or off road is different in a Jeep. If I see you stuck, or otherwise in need, I'll help. Of you don't return the wave, it's OK. You drive your way. If you wave back, cool, maybe we'll see eachother in a parking lot, trail head, or other and actually talk.
Like I said it's like a salute, just not not mandatory.
Young troops sometimes would get bent "having to salute all the officers". They would come to understand that the occasional salute to an officer is nothing to worry about. Those officers are obligated to return your salute, and everyone is popping salutes at them everywhere!
HAPPY VETERANS DAY
