I've owned my '21 JT 14 months - it's my first Jeep, and I LOVE my Jeep truck! First time I got "ducked" I was a little freaked out, mainly because our family was going thru some legal issues, and I didn't know if it was a tracking device, an IED, or what. My grown son noticed me staring down at this little duck in my hand and he says, "You just got ducked! It's a Jeep thang." When I got home I did a little research & that eased my mind, as well as bringing a smile to my face. My JT has been ducked about 14-15 times (averaging once a month). I visited Amazon to check pricing, and now I'm buying them 100 at a time (less expensive that way). I even bought business cards to hang around the neck of my giveaways. In these first 14 months of ownership I've ducked somewhere around 250-275 Jeeps. I'm 67 y.o., and this is a new hobby for me. Retirees gotta redeem their time somehow. Sometimes I'll hand 'em out at the gas station. One time I pulled up next to another Jeep at a stop light, and after getting their attention, I tossed it thru their open roof. They applauded me. Although 95% of my ducking has been "secretive" (hitting up empty Jeeps in parking lots), I've only had one duck rejected. An older 2-door - though doorless with a bikini top - was sitting at a red light on a 4-lane, with an older couple in it. The lady was riding shotgun, and as I approached (slowing to stop at the light) I announced, "Here - CATCH!" as I tossed a unicorn duck to the lady. She bobbled it, then caught it & stared at it, then exclaimed, 'Oh no" and she threw it back at my JT, hitting my closed back window, and the poor little ducky tumbled to the pavement. So, my kind gesture triggered her to litter? I turned my JT around and rescued the unicorn from the road before it got smashed by the traffic. Most of the ducking objections I've noticed are on forums & in comments (like here on YT), and appear to come from apparent "macho" men who SO idolize their ride that they fear you'll dirty-up or otherwise damage their vehicle just by placing a good-will gift on it. Kinda sad if you ask me. It's a vehicle - a means of transportation - it'll get dirty when you drive it in the rain. And for those who go off-roading, their machines will get muddy, paint-scratched, and occasionally banged up pretty good. So, what's the beef? Life's too short to whine about everything. Grow a heart of flesh, and reject the negativity that hardens your heart. 🦆🦆O|||||||O
What a fuddy-duddy, I had a Jeep girl come up and give me my first duck at the gas pump today. I've known about the ducks and Jeep-wave since 2016, but only got one duck. I've never got ducked before and told her she was my first and thanked her. Kinda felt good getting ducked, try having some fun with it dude rather than going Karen on it.
My .02: I’m a damn near 50 y/o father of two younger kids; It doesn’t bother me when someone ducks my rig. I’ve got many, many, many more things to be bent out of shape over in this life. My kids enjoy getting and passing out ducks and it helps bring some new blood into our little community. A fair number of people I see having a problem with it; seem to be the same kind of people that are insecure in other areas of their life. I’m climbing off my soapbox now but am leaving you with this: It’s never a bad thing to try and spread a little joy or reinforce your community. Even if you’re not down with this particular trend, just be glad that there are people supporting Jeep Life in their own way.
My Jeep love goes back to the 1970s, and my dad's orange CJ. My first adult new car purchase was a Wrangler in 1997. I have driven nothing but Jeep, until circumstances beyond my control made me give up my Wrangler in 2017. Now, in 2024, I'm back with a new Wrangler, and the duck thing is freaking me out. I got "ducked" within a week and I'm on the fence about whether I'm going to participate. But I confess, my duck is on the dash.
As a Jeep owner, I'll have to say that you are being a wee tiny bit of a "Debbie Downer". I have received one Duck and it will NEVER go to a landfill. I'll keep it for as long as I own my Jeep and maybe pass it on to the next owner with the story of when I got it.
I own a 17yrs old jeep and ducking is perfectly fine with me. Fun way of interacting with jeepers and my kids love it. In canada 🇨🇦 at the auto show, the jeep booth had a basket of rubber ducks.
I've exclusively owned jeeps and didn't even know what the duck thing was till I had one tucked in my door handle today. Kinda neat, but my jeep will 100% be broken into so some tweaker can get my rubber duck
I’m not sure where your from but I live in New Hampshire I have never met anyone who has had a problem with “ducking”… I always leave the duck tail down in the driver side door handle. Usually people up here that don’t “want” the duck will just put it on someone else’s jeep… this has happened to me many times. As for you making this a negative issue it’s not, this is also how trends start and how cool it is that the Jeep life has embraced this simple concept and personality when I get a duck It really makes me feel good and that someone likes my Jeep!! As for me I don’t duck every Jeep just the ones I like, color, build… ect Again personally this is a super awesome idea and I’m glad we do this as a family… I love getting and ducking people’s Jeeps and love the original idea behind it all…
im not a jeep person at all, but when it came time to get a new car considered one for a bit cause i wanted to participate in ducking 😂sounded like fun! in the end i got a Kona,... we kona owners need our own ducks 👀
We’ll some one been putting tiny duckies on my sport bike when I take it to the gym I’ve been riding since 2010 and never had any one put something one my bike. It doesn’t bug me that much. But it’s new to me and idk what it means had to come to TH-cam to find a reason.
You make valid, respectful points. I suggest if you don't want the duck, pass it to another Jeep owner or even to a child (with parents permission of course). Don't be afraid to light up someone's day and pass that goodwill along. Random acts of kindness are rare in today's world and should be encouraged every chance we get.
@@johnfair7544 hence why I also said to pass it to a child if he/she/it is so offended by the duck. Nothing against being a nice person just for the sake of being nice, unless you are a jerk. Some people look for things to complain about.
In a world that is so screwed up I think it’s ok to do it but like everything people might take it the wrong way way but I think most people get a smile out of it
I just got ducked today for the first time and I admit it brought a smile to my face. At the same time I don't give a duck. And buying your own duck is like Jeep stolen valor. 😂
In the middle part where you said something to effect of you being a Debi downer….nailed it. There’s literally nothing negative about it, it’s just fun… and no one gives a crap about a rubber duckie on their jeep. I’ve had jeeps for the past 20 years, the jeep community is fun, keep it that way, it’s not that serious
My 7yr old daughter told me about this. She has wanted a jeep as her first car when she turns 16 for as long as she could talk which is pretty surprisingly consistent for a 7yr old.
Betting most Jeep owners buy the ducks to put on their dashboard in an attempt to make themselves feel accepted. If someone at Jeep had any imagination they would get some Jeep branded ducks to giveaway as incentive to get a oil change at the dealership.
A couple rebuttal points: 1) I think it's fine to have new traditions in the Jeep community as long as they don't replace old ones, like The Wave! 2) To your rubber waste point- if you get a duck and aren't into it, I'd suggest passing it on rather than trashing it; especially if you see a Jeep with ducks that you'd know they're into it. 3) some community guidelines about duck placement should help, on the mirrors or door handle are ok. The best spot if someone has it would on a step plate. But I don't think people should be moving other people's wiper blades and things like that to put a duck.
To add to the Duck giving. Even the Jeep wave is not necessary. I get tiered of waving to every Jeep i pass on the road. Just owning and driving a Jeep say's your part of the Jeep community i don't need conformation by waving to every Jeep on the road. Most don't know what the Jeep wave really is any way.
As someone who daily drives a (relatively) clean low mile xj currently at factory ride height, 95% of the waves I get are from other xj drivers, which I happily return because I'm also an e30 owner and that has been common between owners of more uncommon vehicles to see on the road in current year. But I never got waved to or ducked(thankfully) when I drove a lifted AMC eagle.
Most of the ducking people seem to be boomers and middle age women who don't offroad around where we are. My wife hates having ducks on the dash when she drives our rubicon, she finds them distracting and they glare on the windshield, and I agree. It is fun to get one but we typically just give them to the kids to play with, so at least there's that.
Someone should have a small sticker made that could say something like thanks for the thought but please pass this duck on as my kids have too many… lol
I don't know how anyone drives with anything on their dash. That would drive me crazy. I don't leave oil change stickers on or having anything hanging from rear view mirrors either.
Around here, it's young girls who are mostly into the duck thing. Go to any upscale suburban high school around here and there will be dozens of newer Wranglers in the student's parking lot, all with ducks all over the dash.
I have only received 1 duck. It made me smile, Am i crazy thinking it's not a big deal? Also, can nothing new be added to the "Jeep community "if it isn't 70 years old, it's not valid? I understand someone thinking it's dumb but i also just heard you use the phrase "jeep life" 😂
Haven't been duck'd yet (no idea if non wrangler Jeeps get duck'd or if it's mostly a wrangler thing) but even if it's a more recent tradition, things have to start somewhere.
If you don't like it give it away. I love getting them. They make my day. What's so wrong with getting a duck. It's this kind of cinicism that has caused humanity to become so angry and rude!!!
Out in the TN I keep seeing Toyata Rave 4 or Kia Soul with ducks and figure you do you. I have a 1995 Rio Grand YJ and a 2014 Rubicon JK. When I get a duck generally toss it in center console, untill i see a XJ , Comanche, or Liberty built. The summer time ones in my YJ freak me just a bit as often it is inside my doorless roofless ride...
You made something positive to a negative!! People love getting ducked and it brings a smile to there day and my girls and I have so much fun ducking other jeeps. Do you think we care about the rubber trash? We drive a jeep that's 12 miles per gallon.
I hope to have a Jeep one day. I'm well aware of the ducking trend. My main concern is how to have those ducks stay put on the dash. I've got a duck on my Ford Fiesta dash, and it sometimes flies into the seat from acceleration. Other times, it tips on its head.
I agree that people should not be setting things on other people's vehicles. If you get ducks anyway and don't want to participate, just donate them to a school if you don't want them. Teachers and school staff always buy small toys for positive student behavior reinforcement and buy them with their own money. Kids would go nuts for them and it would be better than giving them candy. Hey, or give them away at Halloween, etc.
I don't want a duck placed on my jeep. If you like them have at it on your own jeep, but I don't want my jeep to look like a popularity contest. If it makes you happy though, have the ducks. So many wildly different Jeep owners out there.
It is weird. Around here, no jeep that has ever been in 4 low, gets ducked. It is a beauty contest. The real jeeps used off-road a dozen or more weekends a year seem to be exempt. That suits me find. My XJ doesn't need a rubber ducky.
Dude your crying over nothing who cares. None of your reasons are a valid point. Personally i dont like them on my jeep and dont have any on my windshield or anywhere else but i dont give a shit if someone happenes to set one on my door handle. Just Throw it on your seat and get rid of it on the next Jeep you see, its pretty much gone in 5 min you never have to worry about putting them in the trash and you make someone else happy
@@Wrangzilla quite the opposite, and there was no emotion conveyed in my post. Just statements that it's pointless to care what other people do with their stuff and getting upset over someone putting one on your jeep is sad. The fact that you took the post as emotional makes you seem like you're thinking a lot more emotionally lol.
IF YOU GET DUCKED AND YOU DONT WANT A DUCK JUST REDUCK YOUR DUCK PUT IT ON A DIFFERENT JEEP IF YOU DONT WANT IT THERE IS SOME PEOPLE THAT WANT THE DUCKS SO DONT THROW THEM AWAY😊
It's hard around here because there are so many Jeeps. If you are going to wave at everyone one of them...you might as well just drive around with 2 fingers up all of the time.
@@thesuttongarageexactly. Back in the day Jeeps where not as plentiful and I’d wave. But now that there’s literally one every few miles, im not going to wave unless it’s a fellow built Jeep. Angry grills and ducks in the window is an automatic ignore. No matter the size…..
@@Wrangzilla I mentioned it in the video but I am really against messing with the grill on Jeeps. Angry grills don't even look god so I'm not sure where the appeal is anyway...
I agree with you. It has gotten out of hand. That said, I just toss them in the center console, eventually giving them to the neighbor’s kids (who LOVE ducking Jeeps). I actually don’t get too many on my JK. Usually, this fad is associated with newer Jeeps like the neighbor-lady, not beat-up jalopies like mine. 😅
Oh my gosh! Didn't you see what happened to Jerry Seinfeld when he refused to go along with the "kiss hello"? Walk away from this one my friend. I beg of you, just walk away!
Get a life. Who cares. Ducking is fun. I just keep the first duck and the latest duck on my dash. I just rotate and if I get a new one I give one. I do think we’ve drifted from what ducking should be. A little note and a duck when you see a jeep you like. Hey nice wheels or I like the bumpers or on a mud covered jeep looks like you had fun. A little silly to drive thru a mall parking lot and ducking 30 Jeeps. The only time I’ve taken part in mass ducking is my club will go duck stock Jeeps inviting them to come to our events. A duck and an invitation.
I have never seen this done by a single jeep with a winch. I wonder why that is? City people ruining shit as usual. Fyi i live in the city im just not a poser.
hey great video !!! I totally agree with you don't put stuff on my car please lol I just got a jeep by the way a few months ago doing the build on my channel go check it out !!
I could never imagine owning a new jeep, I have respect for the older ones though. New jeeps are absolute trash, they’re not jeep anymore and haven’t been for 20 years.

This is a super cool idea… 👍
I believe you can find some that are Jeep themed. But yeah...riding the trend and using it as a way to market dealerships isn't a bad idea at all.
A couple rebuttal points:
1) I think it's fine to have new traditions in the Jeep community as long as they don't replace old ones, like The Wave!
2) To your rubber waste point- if you get a duck and aren't into it, I'd suggest passing it on rather than trashing it; especially if you see a Jeep with ducks that you'd know they're into it.
3) some community guidelines about duck placement should help, on the mirrors or door handle are ok. The best spot if someone has it would on a step plate. But I don't think people should be moving other people's wiper blades and things like that to put a duck.
To add to the Duck giving. Even the Jeep wave is not necessary. I get tiered of waving to every Jeep i pass on the road. Just owning and driving a Jeep say's your part of the Jeep community i don't need conformation by waving to every Jeep on the road. Most don't know what the Jeep wave really is any way.
Some days I pass 20+ jeeps and other days non… I always wave but it’s probably 70/30 if they’ll wave back…
I’ve been driving Wranglers on and off (more on) since 1996 and I stopped waving years ago.
As someone who daily drives a (relatively) clean low mile xj currently at factory ride height, 95% of the waves I get are from other xj drivers, which I happily return because I'm also an e30 owner and that has been common between owners of more uncommon vehicles to see on the road in current year.

Some Oregon Jeep owners may feel a little conflicted about displaying or getting a duck. LOL
The number of ducks equal the number of times those pieces of garbage have been in the shop! Just stay away from Mopar products they’re trash!
IF YOU GET DUCKED AND YOU DONT WANT A DUCK JUST REDUCK YOUR DUCK PUT IT ON A DIFFERENT JEEP IF YOU DONT WANT IT THERE IS SOME PEOPLE THAT WANT THE DUCKS SO DONT THROW THEM AWAY😊
Hell. After driving Wranglers on and off (more on) since 1996, I don’t even wave anymore….
It's hard around here because there are so many Jeeps. If you are going to wave at everyone one of them...you might as well just drive around with 2 fingers up all of the time.
@@thesuttongarageexactly. Back in the day Jeeps where not as plentiful and I’d wave. But now that there’s literally one every few miles, im not going to wave unless it’s a fellow built Jeep. Angry grills and ducks in the window is an automatic ignore. No matter the size…..
@@Wrangzilla I mentioned it in the video but I am really against messing with the grill on Jeeps. Angry grills don't even look god so I'm not sure where the appeal is anyway...
I agree with you. It has gotten out of hand. That said, I just toss them in the center console, eventually giving them to the neighbor’s kids (who LOVE ducking Jeeps). I actually don’t get too many on my JK. Usually, this fad is associated with newer Jeeps like the neighbor-lady, not beat-up jalopies like mine. 😅
You make some great points!
I agree and can say that i have thrown many duck away keep them off my gladiator
Oh my gosh! Didn't you see what happened to Jerry Seinfeld when he refused to go along with the "kiss hello"? Walk away from this one my friend. I beg of you, just walk away!
I HONESTLY think you may need sell your Jeep and buy a Subaru. Just let them do what they want and stop the click bait!
Get a life. Who cares. Ducking is fun. I just keep the first duck and the latest duck on my dash. I just rotate and if I get a new one I give one. I do think we’ve drifted from what ducking should be. A little note and a duck when you see a jeep you like. Hey nice wheels or I like the bumpers or on a mud covered jeep looks like you had fun. A little silly to drive thru a mall parking lot and ducking 30 Jeeps. The only time I’ve taken part in mass ducking is my club will go duck stock Jeeps inviting them to come to our events. A duck and an invitation.
they lost me when i saw 10k stock Jeeps with 100k ducks all over them
Yeah me as well. I didn't want to say it in the video but normally the Jeeps with the most ducks are generally not great.
Auto correct..... It's never Ducking.......
Haha!! So true
I love ducks
Just give it to a kid. 🤷🏻♀️
Duck 🦆 power
I have never seen this done by a single jeep with a winch. I wonder why that is? City people ruining shit as usual. Fyi i live in the city im just not a poser.
Oh lord, this video gives me second hand embarrassment. Pointless.
hey great video !!! I totally agree with you don't put stuff on my car please lol I just got a jeep by the way a few months ago doing the build on my channel go check it out !!
No thanks
No thanks,especially when you call your Jeep a car 🤣
Booooo you are absolutely ruining the fun in it. It’s inviting and connects people.
I could never imagine owning a new jeep, I have respect for the older ones though. New jeeps are absolute trash, they’re not jeep anymore and haven’t been for 20 years.
No thanks
Its also a good way to get pulled over, dashboards with clutter can trigger a traffic stop, it's a distraction.
Had a few Wranglers throughout my life. I'm not doing the Jeep wave and sure as hell NOT putting ducks on my dash. You're all corny.
Everyone wants to be noticed for things these days. Just stop.
You're being a scrooge
Sounds gay
A dash covered in rubber ducks looks fuckin GAY
