I wave to Wranglers and older XJs (always wanted one). I don't wave to other Jeeps or Wranglers with angry grills, eye lashes (yes I have seen it), or if their soft top is not folded properly. Ok the last one is a joke but it bothers me.

I'm wondering if they just don't KNOW to do that? Not everyone has had a Jeep before or comes to these types of forums. It's not like dealers tell you about it when you buy one...

This is my first Jeep and I am always forgetting to wave at ppl. Makes me feel like an A-hole lol. I told my daughter, I need a bobble-hand or a permanent ✌ sign in the window.

one thing I’ve noticed is wranglers wave but cherokees, liberty’s, etc don’t.

The only real Jeep (JT, JL, JK, etc.) drivers who don’t wave here in Atlanta are young chickies too busy looking at their phones to notice what is going on around them. It is also the typical hold on to the top, center of the steering wheel and raise your fingers while still gripping the steering wheel with your thumb wave. Probably trying to ensure their wandering steering box doesn’t cause them to drift into an accident...

...that was a joke, my box is tight.

another joke.
You are so right! Lol! At least that is what I have noticed here in Louisiana.

So they do make a Jeep wave HAND decal - I saw one on the BACK of the driver side mirror in a pic of a wrangler -- actually looks pretty cool!

The only thing on my mirror is a little sign I can read when I look at the mirror. It says, "Vehicles in mirror are losing."

Maybe this will clear up some confusion for you @Jeepnoob34 although, Factoid did come down to Louisiana but I didn't check his box.

There is always next time for like a fine wine, no box gets checked before it's time.

I felt like a dick today. I’m not used to Wranglers waving and I had one wave at me today and processed it too late and he probably didn’t see me wave back. There’s probably a thread on Wrangler forums now saying Gladiators don’t wave. Haha

Yea. Yesterday there was a black gladiator in North Carolina that didn’t wave back to me. Looked right at me too. Unbelievable.
