Quoted: I'm very familiar. About 2/3 of my friends are Toyota guys and the rest are a mix, but mostly Jeep guys. One of my best friends just dumped his Tacoma for his dad's old Jeep 2-door a couple of months ago, so I've been teasing the crap out of him. We'll be taking it to Hidden Falls at some point when he gets everything he needs done to it. It was already lifted with 33s and he added a Warn M8000 to it. I need to fix my 4x4 actuator before I take my Tacoma out wheeling again (it sticks going in and out of 4LO/4HI). https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/523928/Taco_Wheeling_png-3190819.JPG View Quote Ahh, a rooftop tent. You must be one of those overlanders Go to BBNP or BBSP. You wont regret it! |

They take the whole duck thing too far. I was driving a customers Wrangler the other day and pulled in the parking lot with the drivers window down, duck rolls across the dash and out the window. Also had a JK yesterday, under the "trail rated" badge was a duck rated badge and under that was a wine rated badge. These people get carried away with their doo dads.

I expected someone gayer. For a Jeep owner he seems pretty straight

Quoted: Now that is funny....but I do get a lot of ooohhhhh's and aaaahhh's from the new Bronco crowd when the see my truck. I took it to the local Hooters for lunch Sunday and if I was 25 and not 65 I could have bought a lot of the waitresses for a ride. I am also on the @PhuzzyGnu team https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/16476/D82312CB-9E4F-4CB6-8EB3-76202A1DC2E7-1749991.jpg View Quote We cant see your truck because there is in SUV in the way.... |

Quoted: Those little smiles can melt the hardest of hearts . As for the duck game in general, it doesn’t hurt anything, there is a sense of camaraderie among the owners and kids get a kick out of it . Whats not to like about rubber ducks ? View Quote I don't care either way, but my daughter has a blast ducking other Jeeps, not to mention my better half has gotten in on the game a few times too. It's harmless fun and I have a few ducks on the dash. |

Quoted: It's mostly JK/JKUs in my experience. I sold mine so no more ducks for me. There's a strong correlation between how modded you are and quantities of ducks, up to a point. View Quote Decently modded with less than 10 ducks... LOL Attached File |

View Quote I have that one on my dash, only one I have. Surprisingly I almost never get other ducks. And when I do, I give them to my buddy because his little kids like them for toys |

My wife has a jeep and someone put a mini rubber duck on her door handle while her car was parked at work.

The only ducking i got was a weird one. Parked in a lot next to a restaurant next to 2 other Wranglers. Some 30-something chick rolls up in a Minivan, stops behind our Jeeps, gets out with a bag full of ducks and puts one in each. Gets in her minivan and splits. When I left one of the other Jeep owners was getting in theirs, I asked him if he wanted my duck, he said no and I threw mine in the 3rd jeep, then he did the same. The end.
CSB. Also, I will admit to The Wave, but only when I see an older Jeep that's pretty cool looking. |

I traded my jeep in on a bronco. Now I wave at every jeep and not a single one will wave back.

Quoted: Had my Gladiator for over a year, no ducks, no fucks given. But….. Last weekend a young lady (8 yrs old or so) from my neighborhood walked up to me with a big smile and handed me a duck. Until that point, I had swore I wouldn’t play that game. With a big smile I thanked her and told her she was the first to give me one. She skipped away with a big smile. I guess I’m playing that game now. At least it was for a good cause…. View Quote That's the thing. It seems to be about 99% little kids and women who are doing this. It makes them very happy and is completely harmless. So... I've gotten 3 ducks on my JKUR. They stick them in the driver's door handle, so they can't be missed. I don't really want them, but am not going to be all pissy about them either. *shrug* |

View Quote My YJ was ducked last month in a hospital parking lot. |

We have Jeepin the Coast here in MS. At the parades they throw out the ducks. There is a guy at my office in Hattiesburg that brings his jeep to work every now and then. He hates the ducks. I gave out handfulls of them to people in the office so every time he drove his jeep he would get one. It took him months to try and figure out who was doing it

Quoted: I traded my jeep in on a bronco. Now I wave at every jeep and not a single one will wave back. View Quote Honestly I didn't realize how much of a habit the wave was, I'd been driving my JKU for 12 years and switched to a subie and I still reflexively lift my left hand when I see a jeep coming in the other lane of the 2-lane highway I drive on. I sometimes would do a wave with a thumbs up if I saw an XJ that was particularly well done. Also the subie dealer tried to convince us that there was a subaru wave . If there is it probably involves flicking your tongue in the V of the peace sign. |

Quoted: The jeep wave was something before wranglers, when there were only a few surviving cj5s cj7s and the occasional cj8 on thw road. You waved maybe once a week or month, but there's nothing cool about 870000 wranglers in your town and waving to each and every one. Now it's just lame, like a guy with a fake biker gang vest on. And the duck is gay and very appropriate. View Quote Yup. This all the way. When I had my fj40 around 2000 when " jeeps" were really taking off... The faces I get when I get waved at...and then when close enough to see " Toyota " were priceless. When I had a 95 wrangler..you maybe wave few times a week. And you'd never see girls driving them.. |

Quoted: Yep, just too busy getting fixed at the mechanics View Quote I probably wouldn't own one if I wasn't a Mechanic but this one has 120k on it and the only thing it's needed is a transmission, and that's only because the guy I bought it off of ignored the leaking transmission pan and connector, ran it way low on fluid and burned up the 1st and 2nd gear clutches. That and I rebuilt the rear air bags. I'd say it's one of the more reliable Land Rovers, especially compared to something like a Defender 90. I have a few clients that have VERY clean examples and they're always broken in expensive ways, like puking oil from every gasket. |
