New JK
 

Well I sadly parted with my 04 TJ over the weekend, but am now the proud owner of a 2010 Mountain.

Have to say that the majority of 4 door owners I have encountered in the past have not seemed overly friendly (not many waves), but I am out to change that!

Re: New JK
 

Wave bro,,,,,,EclipseX

Same here, they are all yupys, I've learn my lesson, now I only wave if they have a modification on the jeep or if they wave first.

Re: New JK
 

Nice ride, enjoy the new JK.

Similar (wave)problem here lately, really bugs me.

I'm completely stock, and will always wave first, the dealers really need to educate these new owners.

Re: New JK
 

I just got my 08 sahara monday...i heard through the grapevine prior to that, that jeep owners wave to one another...on my way back home(sault ste. marie) from guelph, experienced a lot of waves...some owners here do, some dont..

Congrats on the Mountain Eclipsex

Re: New JK
 

Love the rims!!

Re: New JK
 

Well I find the same problem being the owner of a 03 tj, that other cj,yj and tj owners 95% wave, but when it comes to jk owners about 10% wave to us. I have stopped waving to jk's as I don't get the wave back. Like Tracklock says you have a better chance of receiving a wave from someone with a modification done (hes in the know) I have an opinion of why the jk's aren't waving but I really don't want to start a WAR on here... lol

Re: New JK
 

well Mr. White, I'm a new JK owner, and I;m sitll waving, well, i guess I just started as its my first jeep...but I will continue to wave to keep he tradition goin!

Re: New JK
 

Funny, the same discussions about waving go on in the motorcycle forums.

For the record, I always wave when riding my dual sport, even to the twinkie cruiser riders.

I will always wave when I get my jeep, someday. :banana:

Re: New JK
 

New 2010 four door 'Mountain' Edition here and with my first day on the road it's like I never left.....5 waves on my way home from the dealer! I gotta tell ya, the new four door is great and was the only realistic option for a new dad as well. Can't wait to get some ups and start customizing!

Re: New JK
 

Thanks for setting a good example. I'm waving!

Re: New JK
 

Nice rig.Enjoy.

Re: New JK
 

When I had my CJ, other Jeep owners always waved. Bikers do it as well. When I took
a road test in a Sahara I got the wave. Can't wait for the Rubicon.

Re: New JK
 

I just joined the Jeep community and I respectfully wave as I drive past other Jeepers in my 2010 JK but so far no luck. Should I give up?

Re: New JK
 

Keep waving. I find it hit and miss. My g/f waves like mad, even when she is not in the jeep.

Re: New JK
 

Congrats on the new rig, looks great!! Lol Still talking about the wave lolol, remember when the YJ yuppies didn't wave at the CJ's, then the TJ yuppies didn't wave to the YJers or the CJers, now the JKers aren't waving at anyone, lol. Its just new jeepers that don't get it yet (some never do) but anyone driving around an old CJ gets it lol. When i had my first Willies cj2a i never waved at those stuck up cj2b guys lolol!!:lol_hitting:

Re: New JK
 

Nice.I'm waving by the way.....

Re: New JK
 

As a newbie with the jeep community, i heard about the waves but never realized it was such a tradition until my 2nd day. Been waiving ever since. I might have an explanation however. I think the 4 dr JK opened up a new market for jeep (very positive) and people (such as I was on numerous occasions) are surprised by the wave so much that by the time we realize whats happening, we just drove by you LOL.. just a theory

Re: New JK
 

I work @ the local jeep dealer and never new about the wave until after I bought my first JK, (seen it on the forums), now I tell all the owners about, trying to keep the wave going

Re: New JK
 

:confused: Doesn't work, all CJ/YJ/TJ owners have the old "mindset" the new JK 4dr's look to much like a HUMMER and they refuse to wave back--

The only "wavebacks" I get are from--

Re: New JK
 

By the looks of your rig,their just jealous.

Re: New JK
 

:banana: Heh Heh, thanx, but not to many people like yellow vehicles, matter of fact, jeep stopped producing that color !!


:3gears::3gears: JIMBO

Re: New JK
 

What!No more yellow.Since when?

Re: New JK
 

:confused: Starting 2010 and I don't think the yellow will showup on the 2011 models either !!


:3gears::3gears: JIMBO

Re: New JK
 

:CALLIN:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I like my Yellow

Re: New JK
 

:banana: Yea, me too, I've had yellow Corvettes, Xterra, Dodge Ramchargers--


I guess it's either keep this Jeep, or buy used, if you want yellow again !!

:3gears::3gears: JIMBO

Re: New JK
 

OK so I have had almost one of each in the past and always wave. I get the deer in the head lights alot , from all types of jeeps . I Have my new JK and I wave no matter what . I think there is a lot of new to the Jeep thing and they have no idea why people wave to them , they just don't know . Heck they just traded in their mini vans and want to be cool and have a cool Jeep , can you blame them . My wife laughs because I ride a bike as well and do the wave there . Same thing there . Harley's dont wave to anyone else , crotch bikes don't wave to any one else . But cruzers wave to everyone .
So I wave .
My two cents . Keep waving

Re: New JK
 

I just bought a 2007 Sahara Unlimited. I knew about the waves and respected it. I got the SHAFT on my first 5 or 6 waves and then some guy gave me a solid wave from 3 lanes accross the 401 going the opposite way. I hit him back and I'm batting 1.000 ever since. No discrimination here....

Funny side note: I recently put on the soft top on my used 2007 Sahara unlimited and found out the previous owner had leased this vehicle for his women's work attire company (that failed). On my rear soft window you can clearly read the outline of the old decals; it reads "Home Of The Pink Work Boot"... anyone know where I can get a single soft rear window cheap?

Let me know

Re: New JK
 

Hey ameloche,

That's awsome, keep waving , we will keep this going.

And that is some funny sh% on the window . LOL ..
If you cant find a window try cleaning it with a lens scratch remover , (headlights) it took some of the roll up marks out of mine , might work ???

Re: New JK
 

:banana:---NEWS FLASH ----

Detonator Yellow is available on the 2011 JK jeep line--all models

Back to your favorite station !!

:3gears::3gears: JIMBO

Re: New JK
 

Whew, thanks Jimbo for confirmation. Love the Detonator Yellow, or just about any 'bright color'....Red, Mango Tango...Rescue Green. If ya' gotta Jeep, the in your face bright color just amplifies the best ride going!

(No disrespect to the other colors do get me wrong, its personal preference....I do think the TJ in the sandy beige is very classy aswell.... I'm diggin that too.)

Re: New JK
 

Sold my 04 last week and got into the 4 door. love it! but i've observed the same. 4 doors don't know the wave. over the weekend and from the drive home from the dealership i think i waved probably about 20 drivers, none waved back. we're losing the wavers out there! i'll keep doing it, maybe more will catch on.
cheers!

Re: New JK
 

Our dealer told us about "the wave" and I said we did it 20 years ago when I had my CJ7. Sometimes I get distracted and the Wife will wave. We have to pay this one off quick cuz we fight over who is going to drive...lol. She needs her OWN!!!

Re: New JK
 

~waves~ The ride is great in the 4 door my Wife asked when we could take it home after the test drive....lol

Re: New JK
 

Keep the wave going. Back when I had my 92, everybody waved. Now, 50/50. If you see my wife on the road, look back as she will eventually wave, still freaks her out.

Re: New JK
 

Wave On, it's a JEEP thing.

Re: New JK
 

Top marks to the Dealer for informing you on the wave! This mandatory traning really should be done prior to the dealer handing the keys over to your new Jeep.:banana:

Re: New JK
 

We just picked up a 2 door mountain 2 weeks ago.Lots of look come our way, some good, and some bad. But whatever. My wife drives it to work every day, and swears that it is the best vehicle we have ever bought.
Always wave, but not returned most times.

Re: New JK
 

Yo Jimbo!
What dealership is telling you they can get 2011 in Detonator Yellow? Just got back from mine and they're telling me it's not available!

Re: New JK
 

I saw that too the detonator yellow and mango tango are both available for 2011 and the smurf blue is out.

Re: New JK
 

Oxford Chrysler in London has 2011 JKU in Yellow sitting on lot.
