Don't bother jeep waving in St.Louis

[Blazindevl]

It's no different here in Phoenix either, only about 10% wave and usually are the ones lifted and built for off road. Since the release of the four door jk the wrangler has become more mainstream and people are buying them as "trendy SUV's" as opposed to purpose built off-road machines. Its most likely these same folks who now make up the majority that aren't versed on the culture that comes with buying a jeep.

1 in 10 for me here in SoCal, Chino area. If I head into the mountains I see the wave 90% of the time.

I only wave at modified Jeeps now.

I find I did got more waves with my TJ then I did with my JK before I lifted it.

Totally agree. There are a tonne of JKUs in Calgary but only the owners of modified Jeeps seem to "get it".

It's so frustrating but makes getting a reply wave that much better.

One you get those up tight really rich folks in the frontenac area they almost get mad when my jeep comes around and its all scratched and dented :clap2:

I used to have no problems getting waves from other Jeepers when I drove my Cj's or Yj's. It seemed only natural here in NC and almost never missed the chance to wave. Now that I drive my JK 2dr or wife's JKU people look at you like "WTF are u waving at me perv". Now it's mostly just waves from people who have mods or TJ,YJ.
On a side note, I hear my wife tell her mom after purchasing a new JKU not to wave at Jeeps with square lights. I quickly told her not to be a "square headlight snob" a Jeep is a Jeep. I was a square headlight once too. Now it's a running joke.

I get more waves from ppl driving Cj,YJ,TJ than JK. Even some of the lifted JKs around here in San Diego don't know the jeep wave. I wave at the older Jeeps especially TJs since that was my first Jeep and first love. I'll wave at all Jeeps but sometimes I look at the driver and can tell they don't know what the Jeep wave is so I don't waste a wave and let them make the first move. As said earlier, most of the JKs out here are "grocery grabbers" or expensive dog carriers.
