I followed posts from a huge online Jeep group where nobody wheeled, some did forest service road drives, but most were high as hell on giving and getting ducks. I couldn't unfollow that shit fast enough. Apparently that is "Jeep life". <facepalm>
I’m now seeing them drive around with the entire dash covered-
We went to a Jeep event and you would see them on display in the parking area on the JK hoods. No kidding. All lined up. Not sure what message that sends but It is for real going on. I just thought we had a lot of problems in the world til that got started. It’s like a status symbol, “likes” for your jeep.
Can you imagine two kids in Somalia sitting in mudhole talking -
“In America people live in huge houses, drive beautiful cars and trucks and even fancy jeeps.....and when no one is looking they sneak and put a rubber duck on the other persons jeep- it makes them so happy”
“ No Way ! Why?”
“ I don’t know. Let’s go find some rocks to suck, I’m hungry”
Not making fun of world hunger, what I’m poking fun at is our first world insanity. We have it so much time on our hands and so much abundance we have resorted to “ducking” others. If any civilization has ever peaked we have. Not saying it was a high peak.
One day this practice will mystify sociologists.
In all seriousness, its mostly a girl thing- they love it - and of course us guys will go along with anything that makes a girl smile. Probably dudes out their buying ducks on credit. Got a quack habit to support.
The Jeep has become a sort of a cult ( for lack of a better word- family is a stretch, or maybe it ain’t we bicker so much) if any vehicle ever has- I can’t think of anything that comes close in automotive history.
