i usually wave by accident when not paying much attention but they do wave back more than the new wrangler owners.

I don't even bother waving. If I happen to see someone wave at me, I'll wave back, even if they're driving a Prius.
Otherwise I don't put much thought into it.

Remember NIKE:
JUST DO IT
It’s a Jeep thing , whether you get a wave back or not
( IMHO )
There’s a few new Gladiators up here in the Peacecountry ,speak Fort Saint John and Dawson Creek ,British Columbia
I’m surprised I haven’t seen a single one modified yet

The way I was taught when I was but a wee lad.... CJs wave to Willys, YJs wave to CJ and Willys So on and so forth. If JK, JL, or JT drivers wave to me I'll reciprocate.
For me it's a Jeep wave, definitely for the Gladiator. I don't often process Grand Cherokee or Liberty as Jeep but for just about everything else sure. Plenty of people are too cool for school these days but that doesn't bother me. Personally I haven't seen a YJ on the road in years let alone a CJ and on the trail I'm the looser giving hand signals about how many people are in my group instead of the wave.

I will wave to those who initiate it. I don't wave first and to be honest, am not a fan of it all, but I don't like leaving anyone hanging. People in Pittsburgh wave like mad and at my other job in the mountains, Jeeps are every other car it seems, so waving it a pain. I just want to chill and drive my TJ.
I’ll wave to whoever because I’m a decent human being.
I'll wave at a TJ and older out of respect but I don't expect the older rigs to wave back since the TJ isn't a real jeep.
Around here JK's and newer are mostly driven by soccer moms and the like, don't have a clue, and are too busy on their phone to notice.

I don't wave at any Gladiators at all...…….(probably because we don't have them out here

I wave to most Jeeps out of habit. Most wave back, lately more JK drivers have been initiating the wave. Yesterday I saw a Gladiator with wheels and tires, it actually looked pretty good.
I wave to all jeeps even though I know that the JLs won’t wave back. So far every gladiator I’ve waved to has waved back though, but I’ve only seen two in the wild.
I’ll wave at 2 door jeeps, IMO the correct number of passenger doors for proper Jeeps, but will wave back at anyone who waves at me.

Wave ... why? Isnt the Gladianus just another half ton pickup wanna be? Like a Tacoma, only slower.
I'm not really that decent of a human but I'll wave to any wrangler style jeep anyway. Even a Gladiator.
When on my Harley I will wave back to ricers if they wave but I won't wave to the 30 mph scooter moped things blocking up the road thinking they are motorcycles. It's all I can do to not run them in the ditch....
