Note: This article was updated on March 31 with added information. It's really hard to say when the first Jeep Wave happened. Chances are it was during WWII when two soldier passed each other in the English countryside, going to or from the wars front lines driving an MB. Once the Jeep became a civilian vehicle, the waves never stopped. On America's country roads, fellow neighbors waved at each other in passing as a friendly way to greet each other and acknowledge, "Hey, life is good driving a Jeep!".

Jeep Waves Are the Greeting for Owners

Jeep owners tend to be outdoor folks who enjoy some sunshine, cool mountain breezes, camping, hunting, and just general all around back to nature living. A select group of owners who have that special off-road vehicle that has a long history at being the best at what it does. When you do the Jeep Wave, you're letting another Jeep owner know that, at heart, you're in the same club. You share the adventure of a select few: those who chose a Jeep above all other vehicles. Whether it's a Wrangler or a Cherokee, you're part of the family. You must show respect and give the all important Jeep wave.
