some guidelines to performing the Jeep Wave.
For starters you must wave or raise your hand every time a worthy Jeep vehicle crosses your path while you yourself are driving a Jeep vehicle. You might get the urge to wave at a fellow Jeeper while driving in another type of car but you should not expect to get a wave in return. If you are not in a Jeep they probably either won’t see you or won’t know what the hell you are doing. You should automatically wave at all Wranglers and CJ’s. Grand Cherokees, Cherokees and other Jeep vehicles should also be waved at if they are obviously modified in some way.
If a lesser Jeep oner waves at you, you must return the wave no matter what. Who knows, they could have a stock daily driver Jeep in addition to a trail vehicle or the might have not had the time or funds to modify their Jeep yet. The act of them waving shows that they understand the Jeep spirit and they should receive a wave back in return.
The type of wave you give depends greatly on the type of vehicle you are driving. If you are driving with the top down on your vehicle your Jeep wave should extend above the windshield or outside of the Jeep tub. The exception to this is if you are driving without a top in rain or snow in which case a nod will do. If you have a hard top vehicle you should attempt to extend your hand outside the vehicle or at least wave your hand vigorously inside your Jeep so that the other Jeep driver can clearly understand that you are waving at them.
No matter what style of vehicle you are driving be sure to use all of your fingers while performing the Jeep Wave. You might think that their Jeep is #1 but there is no need to tell them that and add to their ego.
Lastly, don’t get disgruntled if you do not get the wave back. They might have simply not seen you or they might just not know. If you get pissed and stop waving at people you will simply be adding to the problem. Instead of getting pissed at the other driver take that rage and just bottle it up deep inside you. Its good for you.
