SPLIT FROM JAMBOREE THREAD: JK's and waving

Quote from Quantum73

It's a Jeep thing, and you don't have enough Jeep left to understand... JK doesn't count. That's a minivan thing...

Haha The JK didn't break down like the TJ's last time at RC. Don't worry you'll warm up to the JK eventually. I just hope you return waves to JK's that wave at you.

Doubt it. And I don't bother waving because the JK people NEVER wave back. Lost cause...

The sad part is there is a little truth to that. Some if not most do wave though. I do notice a disproportionate number of JK owners who NEVER take their tops off. Not sure I understand buying a Jeep if the top is permanent.

I remember researching JK's before I bought mine and reading complaints such as having to move the visor to unlatch the top, muffler discoloration, etc. The four door definitely invited a new breed of owner to Jeeps for better or worse.

I hear ya, A lot of 4 doors don't wave back at me but don't throw all of us in that category. If it's not above 90 with 800% humidity my doors and top are usually off. And generally if I wave at a modified JK they usually wave back. Your both right about the 4 doors opening up a new breed to the Jeep line. I espically like seeing the 4 door rubi with Mom up front and kids in back store hoping. There already wasting there money on buying a Jeep instead of another SUV but wasting that extra money on a rubi. I have the right mind to convince them to swap there electronic sway bar dissconnect with mine.

lol yea sadly there alot of jeeps but verry few jeepers. i see alot of modified jk jeeps out there but they probibly bought it with a lift and shinny rims lol. there a few dealerships that will do builds in PA like that for them

as for the top on and off. for me it all depends on if i got a spot clean to hold it and if im drivieng a long distence. i prefer the jk hard top means i can hear my radio lol... ug i need get subs ><

altho the jk hard top is lighter then the tj hard top its stil a pain to take off alone.

Hoist A Top http://www.quadratec.com/products/12020_1000.htm $129.99 works great. But soon after I came across a softtop for $150 and bought that too. But now I have a place to store my hardtop and my softtop when I switch for the winter. As far as your radio goes turn the knob clockwise= Problem Solved!

In Dover I honestly have yet to have a single one wave back after a couple dozen tries so I don't bother anymore.

Thanks for the heads up Brian. I am going to make a few trips around your neighborhood just so I can monkey your ass.
Get ready for a new Avatar bud.

Oddly enough, up here in SE PA. I see more JK topless than i see TJs.

I'm still not a huge fan, but not denying that a lot of people are using and beating them as jeeps.

Guilty for beating a JK like a jeep. Just force me to buy new Diff covers. I think thats what you meant atleast.

Glad I drive a CJ and yes most JKs don't wave back! Yes Matt does run his hard just make sure there are extra big rocks around to use for winch points.....

When I see a JK I wave and the usually wave back. But alot of time they don't. Around were I live near Valley Forge I see the mom's with the 4 door JK's with the kids in the back and they are the ones who never wave back. TJ,YJ and CJ, owners wave back to you. If people buy the new JK they are the type who never owned a jeep before and those people who buy them don't really know about the "Jeep thing". Except you are like Matt and RockPirate and have own an older TJ or CJ and are in to the Jeep Thing.

Keep wavin', they'll get the message! By the way, I've guided a lot of stock Jeeps and when Matt's JK was bone stock on those little tires it out performed any stock CJ, TJ, or YJ I've ever encountered. If we wanna keep this going (which I don't) we probably should move this stuff off the jeepjamboreeusa.com. Keep on wheelin'

Sorry about that. I was part of that and I agree with you Randy. Fixed it.

I've been driving the XJ around Newark and Wilmington the past few days. Passing a bunch of modified TJ/JKs even XJs... I wave, and nothing. I get a couple looks, but not many.
