The Jeep Wave is an endangered form of communication wherein Jeep owners acknowledge each other as kindred spirits -- people who refuse to let something as foolish as pavement determine where life takes them. It may be as simple as a single hand over the windshield frame or a few fingers above the steering wheel - the wave may vary, but the meaning stays the same.
No matter how you display the wave on the road or trail, it's important to remember the rules. Respect always goes up the chain according to the extent of vehicle modification, the amount of suffering at the hands of climate, and most importantly, the nostalgia factor. All hail the old metal.
While older or more modified rigs should usually receive a wave from newer models or those closer to stock, owners of the wild stuff are strongly encouraged to wave back and initiate the wave if newer owners don't (they might not know about it).
It's part of being a community of owners who know that
the trail is more important than the destination.
