Is it OK for a Jeep Wrangler driver to wave to someone behind the wheel of a Grand Cherokee? The question itself is not to be taken lightly, and it can get even more complicated. Is the Grand Cherokee modified? Some people would wave at a modified Grand Cherokee but refuse to wave at a stock Jeep even if it is a Wrangler, the vehicle even non-Jeep fans immediately recognize as a Jeep.

The wave might be as simple as popping a couple of fingers up off the top of the steering wheel. Or it might be four fingersor a full hand’s worth (safely, of course). Descriptions vary. After all, we’re not just talking about any wave, we’re talking about the Jeep Wave, that signifier and sign of respect among Jeep owners that they’re part of the same club — that they get it.Many a video exists online to explore The Wave and its etiquette. In December, the host of the Cheap Jeeper YouTube channel out of Australia decided that it doesn’t make sense to discriminate, so wave away:

“You’re part of a massive family no matter if you guys are from America, South America, New Zealand, Australia, England, France, wherever ... it doesn’t matter. You’re all part of a community and you just don’t get that with any other brand of car.”

This is the essence of what’s called the Jeep Life, which is a community, a club, an attitude and an outlook all rolled into one. It’s taking the doors and top off and riding with the wind blowing your hair back. It’s crawling over rocks in your 4x4. It’s fitting your Wrangler with a snorkel or tube doors or skid plates. It's hauling your Jeep on a trailer so you still have a way home if you "break it" on the trail. It’s in-jokes and memes shared on countless Facebook pages along with videos of mud-covered Jeeps going back for more. It’s Jeep-inspired jewelry, coffee mugs and furniture. And it’s a marketer’s dream.
