Man i love my jeep...but dont understand some things these days.
Ive been fortunate enought to own a few different jeeps. My dad had an old cj5 and cj7 when i was growing up so i got to help him with some stuff and hit the trails when he went. When i was 16 i bought a 93 yj and then traded it in for a 2001 tj when i was 20. I sold it(one of the biggest mistakes ever) before going to iraq and 5 years later decided to get rid of my dodge for a 2011 4 door jk. Now what i dont understand is how much jeepers these days really discriminate against other jeeps. Growing up it didnt matter if the other jeep was lifted or had mods or if it was a yj or cj. Everybody waved to eachother and it seems there was a stronger bond between jeep owners. I joined this forum a month ago after buying my jk and was amazed to find theres so many people that really hate on the 4 doors and jks in general. I understand that the jk brought in a ton of new people that dont really care about the tradition of the wave and the jeep itself but i think its our job as jeep owners to educate the new guys on jeep tradition haha...not just get pissed off at them because they dont wave and then take it out on other jeepers lol. Thats all i have to say...sorry if this doesnt make much sense but ive had a few beers tonight haha

You know what? This is my first jeep ever I got a 2009. I always wAve when I see a fellow jeepers.. But I always owned cars/trucks that had forums. I had a 03 ford cobra, 04 ford lightning and a 02 Harley f150. We always waved and had meets. But your right about people. I have passed so many people on the road that just give me the evil eye when I'm in my jeep.

I have seen this same type of thread on the Corvette forums. Kinda funny actually.
He doesn't wave, C6's arent real corvettes, corvettes aren's suppose to have fixed headlights. Then there is always a year group/model that everyone picks on, lol.

It happens to all types of vehicles... I used to be a member of a Ford Focus forum. I owned a 4-door Focus sedan. Got nothing but crap from all the three door hatchback guys. A 4-door sedan? That's what a family drives. You can't tune or soup up a sedan. Then when the redesigned 2003-04 models came out, it had different headlights... now those too were not a "true" Focus.
All I hear from 2 door Jeep guys is how they wish they had a little more room, so who cares... it's called evolution, those who try to stay the same get passed by.
I fully expect that the next Jeep model, after the JK, is going to get a lot of grief from all of us...
