Every once in a while, I'll get a wave from a Jeep driver. More often than from other Bronco drivers!
Oh yea, in the beginning I'd get waves from other Bronco drivers. Now, nothing.

The Jeep wheelers wave to me at times when up running trails in North Georgia. Particularly when the Bronco is muddy.

I don't wave or acknowledge mall crawlers of any kind with them clean undercarriages and unspooled winches. 😏
Unspooled winches are a new one and makes me cringe 😬 lol 😂 you’ll be surprised how many have them and don’t know how to work them

It's a thing here in Georgia. Buddy in Denver says he sees it there too. It's all for the "look", whatever that means.

Very expensive for looks. Almost always Warn as well. When I see the more affordable ones, they tend to belong to guys who use them and their rig; really like seeing those guys.

My first gen bronco in my picture isn’t even a brand name one 🤣 and uses metal wire as the rope if you ever wanna scare somebody who knows it can snap🫰I’m more then happy with my new warn one on the Everglades

I've had more Wrangler drivers wave than I have Bronco drivers. In fact I don't think a single Bronco driver has ever waved, which is a good thing.

Older Jeepers now and then give a couple finger wave off the wheel.

But generally speaking most jeepers I see are looking REALLY HARD LEFT, REALLY HARD RIGHT or very very intenstly toward the floor.

I had a bronco sport wave and give me that "hey, look we are bronco owners!" look as we were passing. I was in a raptor and returned the greeting, but kept a straight face.

I've never noticed a Jeep driver wave at me, but other Bronco drivers don't either. I think that a lot of them are unaware of other Broncos on the road.

And unlike in another state where I used to live, all motorcyclists tend to wave when I'm on my bike, even the Harley riders. That may have something to do with fewer motorcycles on the road here in a colder climate.

Out in the hills on the dirt roads, I wave at all other traffic and most wave back.

When I got my first Bronco people used to wave, yell at stoplights, thumbs up, ask if they could look inside, etc. That never happens any more. I’ve had a couple of Jeepers wave or give a thumbs up on dirt, but not on pavement.

Not at all. This isn't a wavy part of the country anyway, if you wave at someone you're just as likely to get back a death glare as a wave.

I'm in a pretty wavy back-woods part of the country anyway but I go out of my way to wave at: friends, neighbors, anybody who has clearly put a bunch of work into their ride no matter if its my style or not as I dig the effort. Its almost always reciprocated. Bonus enthusiasm if its muddy and or slightly busted up

No, but I would say in my experience the majority of bronco owners don’t wave back to me.

Miami does not wave. I have not figured out why, but it applies to motorcycles, usually, too. I think it's because most locals are on scooters and many motorcycles are snowbird dorks.

I did let a Jeeper go in front of me, in a cluster of a parking lot, because it looked like he put reasonable non-brodozer mods on it. He appreciated it.

Most are four-door Jeep girls who are more self-centered than their steering... not saying much on a Jeep. :wink: They generally don't see anything in focus outside of their phones.
