Default JK Salutes

Yesterday I drove around my part of town called the San Fernando Valley.

I don't see that many Jk's around here. So I am one of very few for now.

Yesterday (Sunday) I had 11 (Eleven) people stop me while I was driving, or while I was parked, approach the JK and ask to look and give me the thumbs up.

Anyone else experiencing this kind of attention?

How many salutes have you received in one day?

For me, it's died down a little now that more JKs are starting to spring up around town-- but during the first few months i couldn't go anywhere without being flagged down so someone could check out the JK. I'd come out of the market, gas station, restaurant, etc... only to find literally crowds of people surrounding the Jeep and peeking through the windows. it was crazy-- made me feel like a rock star

Still happens a lot, but it's getting a little less frequent. With that said, I'll always get a wave from another JK

I know the feeling. I sometimes drive an E Class MB and I tell you what, I feel more important in the Jk than in the Benz!

I drive the JK 90% of the time.
I drive a Tacoma 2.5%
I drive a Volkswagen 5%
I drive a E Class 2.5%

Where in Socal are you Doojer??

You know what that means? You need to Lift and put tires on your jeep to make it look different than the rest.

You are a rock star Doojer! I love the pics you posted
with Wayoflife.

My Jeep Green Unlimited Sahara is in Tampa on the railcar.
Seeing your pics makes me satisfied with my choice.

Let us know if you ever get an aftermarket swaybar disco
or rear end. Or if you ever need to. I tried to get those options up front but my order was placed back in November.

Keep the pics coming to show the Sahara's capability.
