About 6 years ago when my daughter was 13 she had put a handful of rubber ducks on my dash with some blue foam pad and even little Lillie pads she made and said her dad these are you protecting ducks. If you notice they are all gangster looking ducks! So yes if your daughter does something like that you keep them right where she put them! So yes out of love for my daughter the ducks stayed on my dashboard until I got a new truck and no neither truck was a jeep
In the four wheeling communities, the real off-road, they kind of look at these jeepers with all the ducks all over them as teenage girls😂😂😂. It used to be a tradition and four-wheel-drive clubs usually had a duck or a pink hat or something, and whoever got stuck and needed help last time or rolled over or broke down got the duck, and you held onto it until the next person broke down, and then it went onto them, but modern jeepers just buy a ton of ducks and Put them all over for whatever reason 😂 it is kind of like teenage girls who put bows on their shoelaces and little pins and ribbons everywhere because it’s trendy. lol
I think they will end up causing a few accidents due to drivers readjusting while driving. Or one falls down and gets lodged down in the break or gas pedal.
Ahhh. I get it. Get ducked. My uncle was an Army Sgt WW2 in Okinawa as a chief mechanic. He said "never buy a Jeep. They were built for temporary transportation of military personnel and were always cheaply built junk." Nothing has changed since then. Haha! 😂😂
My father was born shortly before the start of WWII but was later in the Army himself. He said the same thing regarding jeeps. The quality is likely a bit better today, but Jeep Chrysler was never known for quality, nor is Fiat. Aesthetically, they've never done much for me but I'm personally more a sports car driver anyway.
Me too. Then I said “what the heck”. Since it was a sailor i immediately thought of my brother who was a Seabee that passed away. He’s been riding shotgun ever since.
I have my dad’s hand me down Jeep. It may be silly but honestly whenever i find these on my car after a bad day at work it really makes it better. I like sharing them to spread positive energy to people cuz you know whoever left you one wanted to make your day better ❤
Yeah! Same thing happened to me. There’s a jewelry store across the street from my job. And I was getting out late. I walked up to the car and they put a l bedazzled duck on my jeep w/a note. It honestly made my night. My co worker didn’t get it bc he didn’t have a jeep. It’s the simple things honestly!
We just got our first Jeep, and when my wife found about the duck thing she was like "We're totally doing that!". I said "correction YOU"RE totally doing that...but not when I'm driving".
Yes so annoying when people buy all their.ducks and put them in stocks jeep, like who gave that to you for no upgrades They are supposed to be given to you I want to start "toy Yoda on a toyota
. . . I get ducks all the time from my work because we have a duck claw machine and kids end up leaving the ducks somewhere around the bowling alley. My coworker(s) always give me the ducks cuz I've always just collected them for fun. I put them on my dashboard cuz I have a jeep and I like to go put them on other fellow jeeps... I honestly think it's fun and I know a lot of kids who love to put ducks on other jeeps when their parents own a jeep so I love the jeep ducking thing that's happening😊
I live in Missouri, at Walmart lot, my daughter in law grabbed a bag of rubber ducks and put one on the door handles of 5 jeeps. I said " what are you doing?" She said, "ducking jeeps, it's a jeep thing, " I said , " I've got a liberty!"... she handed me one! 😊
That’s actually super nice and wholesome. I don’t understand why there are so many comments talking crap about it. If a dude drives a jeep and thinks it’s funny to give each other rubber ducks, let them. It’s not hurting anyone.

Legend has it, that in late 2010, in the interior of Alaska, a father was given a rubber duck by his 18 month old son, the act touched the father so much that he put the duck on the antenna of his favorite vehicle, a tan 1990 Jeep wrangler. Four years passed and the duck was still on the Father's Jeep antenna. At that time the parents of the boy started a dog sled ride business called "Fairbanks dog sled rides", and their Jeep was parked outside of their tour cabin, where it stayed with the duck on the antenna that the Father's son gave him until October 2019 when the father and his family left Alaska on their skoolie and traveled the lower 48 until COVID hit They now live in Arkansas with a new Jeep, the old tan Jeep now belongs to a new owner as of September 2023 And the rubber duck is now lost to time but the memory still remains for the family of the father and the thousands of tourists that have heard the story of the rubber duck that a little boy gave his father and the father in turn put it on his Jeep And if anyone is curious what the ducks name was it was "What" yes What the Duck named by a dad and his son
lol. you don't HAVE to. it's just like bikers... they don't all wave at each other every time. when you live in Toledo you pass a jeep every other car...

I get some of the negativity, but dang. I found a positive, when I get ducked, I give it to my buddy’s little boy. He loves them. Find a silver lining people.
We started collecting Rubber Ducks while beachcombing back in the 90s here in Oregon. The city of Eugene has held Duck races in the Willamette River for decades and the Ducks travel down to the Columbia River and then go into the Pacific ocean and get washed up on the Oregon coast. It was great fun. Found a few glass floats too.
Why does anyone get mad at someone for having ducks? People can pick the strangest things to get angry at. Oh look rubber ducks…now I am angry at that person with the ducks in his keep because…geez people get a life.
World is full of miserable people that can only project..imagine if you will, if you were miserable anything and everything would annoy you, and to make yourself feel better you would try and put others down..some one left a duck today and no idea what da h it was untill i looked it up, kind of neat tbt.
At least in the Oklahoma area that's what they do.... My wife will walk out of a store and there is another dam duck. Now she has started to hand them out. Its and endless cycle of who can give away the most, the weirdest, etc or receive oh so, so many dam ducks! Oh, oh sorry I mean I love my wife's dash of ducks.
Yeah, I bought my 4Runner too! but I built my Jeep... Which is what I consider to be a “Jeepers” Jeep. And although there are no ducks anywhere, I still don’t judge what people drive, and or do to there rides. And yes, I’m patting myself on the back...
I’m fully convinced jeep people buy their own little ducks to put on their dash. I’ll see a complete abomination of a jeep with a dash COVERED in ducks. Like “Bs!, I call bs!” 😂
Oh right, because it's nearly impossible for someone to want to "fit in" and ride the "trend's" d*** and just fill their dash with rubber ducks. No one's saying they're ALL d*** riding but some DEFINITELY are.
I missed the craze. I drove my Jeep from ‘09 to ‘17 and then moved across country so I had to leave my Jeep behind at my parents place. I moved back last year and started driving my Jeep again, totally duck free. I’m glad people are having fun but I’ll just stick to the wave.
Doesn't matter the car...there is a group within every pool who are fanatic about their car. A lot of people even bought the cybertruck just because it's Tesla! Crazy, right?
Never really bothered to look into this, i have a 89 wrangler, half the time new jeep owners dont even acknowledge us older jeep owners. And no my jeep is not a beat up turd. Its a low mile still nice inside and out, has a lift and wheels bigger tires on. Dont really see many older jeeps with ducks so just never really gave a crap about a duck on the dash. A couple months ago i met my wife at a restaurant to eat b4 we drove rest of way home. When we came out another red jeep was parked next to mine, my wife commented about it and said yours is still cooler cause its a classic. When i got to my drivers door there sitting on my step was a duck. And not just any duck a square duck, i laughed and called my wife over to show her. I said wonder how long they have had that square duck just waiting to park next to a yj. Well its sitting center of my dash now watching where we go. My square duck on my square headlight jeep dash. And yes it had a wood tag that said ive been ducked. So sounds like the lady not only started a trend but a way to make money off the ducks aswell.
I've had a yj,tj now a jk maybe a jl later been to some rallies etc. over the years. Fun vehicles and never had a duck given to me never wanted a duck and didn't care to have one either. Until last Tuesday My brother handed me one from a little girl in our neighborhood. She felt bad because I didn't have a duck. It's the only duck I have and the only I'll want. You see she won't be around to ever legally drive a Jeep. Thank you Sweet pea The little duck with bacon and eggs has a home.
I didn't need to write a news station to ask what it meant. I looked it up online. In some circles, carrying a rubber duck or rubber chicken signified that the person carrying the item meant that they had screwed up, or committed some act at which his or her associates thought comical. To carry the item is a "punishment" or a "brand" to indicate that person "goofed up", and they must carry it until the next person earns the "prize" by goofing up. The item is then passed on to that person.
So glad I now know why they are there for.i parked by one Jeep it was covered in.little ducks I was thinking maybe he still feels like a.little child. So thank you for letting us know. By the way. Ducks are cute.❤
I discovered you in March after having tendon surgery on my elbow. Couldn't hardly do anything for 3 weeks. Still can't do much with that arm. But onl7 had 4 physical therapy sessions. I I live in the Chicagoland area (Illinois, USA).
As a life long Jeep owner-CJ7/YJ and last but best-TJ, I am not all about that. My Jeep is ugly and doesn't have a name on the hood, doesn't look like a christmas tree at night, doesn't have the "Amazon off-road" package, the winch is heavily used, It looks ugly af but is highly modified. I take her to Jeep Jamborees and theres no way those ducks would last. There are REAL Jeepers...and then theres "them"...a curb is a big thing.
@@tangledline Lol, I can definitely believe it with an FJ Cruiser. I mean considering most FJ drivers are people that used to drive a Jeep, then they came to their senses and upgraded to a Toyota, but unfortunately they still have some of that filthy Jeeple blood in them so they went with the FJ Cruiser to keep some of that Jeep look. 😂😂
I originally noticed they were only on wrangler / gladiator. Then I'd occasionally see them on patriot and renegade and figured those people went out and bought those ducks.
TJ was the pinnacle. Change my mind. Everything since has been purpose built for comfort and looking cool. Over engineered and over priced is now the Jeep motto.
I have a 1995 YJ Rio Grande and a 2014 Rubicon. Like them both, wife and dogs like jk as it has AC, a hardtop, and back seat replaced with a dog bed. I kinda like the YJ more it is more like driving a tractor. Kinda hate AX5 transmission and 2.5 4 banger want to swap a 4.3 vortec and NV3500. JK has drive by wire. I have manual transmission I don't like asking computer to please increase fule and air.
The ducks are part of the dashboard display. When they start floating, you know to find a shallower part of the water hole to drive through. Backwoods wisdom. It got me a "masters"from the school of hard knocks. But. I'm not here to brag. 🏆😎👍🤔😵💫😂🤣😂
Well just look at what they are on. Mall Crawlers, Sunday Drivers. I have a 94 YJ fully functional and is my daily but also trail ready and does the job pretty damn good. Got no ducks. Dont want no ducks. To each their own but for all you Duck people. No wave from this Jeep
Mine are from kids mostly. I'm not going to be rude to a kid when they get out of their parents Jeep to give me a duck. I always have one to give them back. It's just being silly and I don't know why anyone would really give my old yj a second look.
@@FP194 the new shit will break down before your first payment tbh. Jk is the last functioning jeep. And even it was riddled with issues TJ and older for real *Jeeps*
Ok journalists, explain the little stuffed animal seen hanging from the outside rear of the car. Usually on imports hanging from a recovery hook or exhaust pipe area….
Haha!! I always had a feeling that Jeeple were secretly a part of that community! I mean if you're going to choose to drive a limp wristed Jeep when you could have chosen a Toyota then it makes sense that their... pride🌈💩... would be strong! 😂😂
They are on the Jeep dashboards so that the duckies will float to indicate when the Jeeps are driven too deep in flooded waters. Not a true answer, but it could be. ;)
I think it’s more of an east coast jeep thing. Coming from Utah and wheeling, I never saw these in my life until I moved back east. Tackiest thing I’ve ever seen 🤣
Our 12 year old granddaughter gave us our first one. We received three more at a Jeep rally. We have had our 2014 Wrangler JK since August. We put sturdier tires on her and have been have a blast on our Flint Hills Adventure Trail that goes from Oklahoma through our home state of Kansas into Nebraska. The rougher parts are our favorites. It’s our soon to be retired adventure plan, to be active overlanders. ✌️
I hope it never happens to the Taco. These ducks in the jeeps is awful and so annoying. It’s like a really creepy cult fetish. Jeeps have to be the ugliest car out there and they are the worst drivers.
It's how you tell if you are in too deep in the water. If it floats, start backing up. If it rolls off, you're at too steep an angle. If it's on the roof, you've rolled over.
What a beautiful, sweet n kind gesture. Much love to the woman who started this trend. Someone needs to find out her name. My daughter and I really enjoy looking at the ducks. Thank you for sharing the story. The question was answered. Much love peace and blessings to you all. 💋❤️💐✝️🙏💯🦆🐥
I saw a couple jeeps yesterday with all these ducks on their dash. I wondered what the purpose was. I don’t remember audibly wondering, yet here is a video explaining it. Weird.

Aww modern adults and thier toys on the dashboard aww bless your hearts.
I've had a yj,tj now a jk maybe a jl later been to some rallies etc. over the years. Fun vehicles and never had a duck given to me never wanted a duck and didn't care to have one either. Until last Tuesday My brother handed me one from a little girl in our neighborhood. She felt bad because I didn't have a duck. It's the only duck I have and the only I'll want. You see she won't be around to ever legally drive a Jeep. Thank you Sweet pea The little duck with bacon and eggs has a home.
You have a good heart.
What do you mean by, she won’t be around to ever legally drive a Jeep?
I didn't need to write a news station to ask what it meant. I looked it up online. In some circles, carrying a rubber duck or rubber chicken signified that the person carrying the item meant that they had screwed up, or committed some act at which his or her associates thought comical. To carry the item is a "punishment" or a "brand" to indicate that person "goofed up", and they must carry it until the next person earns the "prize" by goofing up. The item is then passed on to that person.
So glad I now know why they are there for.i parked by one Jeep it was covered in.little ducks I was thinking maybe he still feels like a.little child. So thank you for letting us know. By the way. Ducks are cute.❤
Tell me, Harry, what is the function of a rubber duck?
"investigates" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I actually saw a jeep with these on the dashboard and i live far away from florida... so i guess that its nationwide now
I discovered you in March after having tendon surgery on my elbow. Couldn't hardly do anything for 3 weeks. Still can't do much with that arm. But onl7 had 4 physical therapy sessions. I
I live in the Chicagoland area (Illinois, USA).
Not the vintage jeeps. My cj 7 has zero ducks.
As a life long Jeep owner-CJ7/YJ and last but best-TJ, I am not all about that. My Jeep is ugly and doesn't have a name on the hood, doesn't look like a christmas tree at night, doesn't have the "Amazon off-road" package, the winch is heavily used, It looks ugly af but is highly modified. I take her to Jeep Jamborees and theres no way those ducks would last. There are REAL Jeepers...and then theres "them"...a curb is a big thing.
You would never see such ridiculous behavior from those of us that drive Yotas!!
@@JesseCase I own a 4th gen V8 4x4 as well and you are correct BUT I SWEAR...there is an FJ Cruiser running around..with ducks on the dash...
@@tangledline Lol, I can definitely believe it with an FJ Cruiser. I mean considering most FJ drivers are people that used to drive a Jeep, then they came to their senses and upgraded to a Toyota, but unfortunately they still have some of that filthy Jeeple blood in them so they went with the FJ Cruiser to keep some of that Jeep look. 😂😂
They are just so pretty to look at while they are waiting for help to come!
I originally noticed they were only on wrangler / gladiator. Then I'd occasionally see them on patriot and renegade and figured those people went out and bought those ducks.
Nope. Mine's a Compass, and it's been 'ducked' 3 times. I don't display them on the dash, but I have them, and every time I got one, it made me smile.
I got one once, I threw it in the trash. Not kidding.
A duck? Or a Jeep?
@@princeofcats6883 both
@@petemarron6677😂😂😂
Did the duck hurt your feelings? Did you feel emasculated?
@@GiantMeteor2024 not really
TJ was the pinnacle. Change my mind. Everything since has been purpose built for comfort and looking cool. Over engineered and over priced is now the Jeep motto.
I have a 97 and I cannot agree more.
True Jeep comrades do not judge the older or newer models and we all love each other no matter which model had greater or worse reliability.
Unfortunately I Learned the hard way.
I own a JK and I know its the last of the functioning jeeps.
And it comes with a ton of issues its self.
@@sixpestmy JL sport survived 6 months of me flooring it at every light before i ditched it cause the old 8 speed was beginning to hate me
I have a 1995 YJ Rio Grande and a 2014 Rubicon. Like them both, wife and dogs like jk as it has AC, a hardtop, and back seat replaced with a dog bed. I kinda like the YJ more it is more like driving a tractor. Kinda hate AX5 transmission and 2.5 4 banger want to swap a 4.3 vortec and NV3500. JK has drive by wire. I have manual transmission I don't like asking computer to please increase fule and air.
It's just a new way to duck the cops 😂😂
The ducks are part of the dashboard display. When they start floating, you know to find a shallower part of the water hole to drive through. Backwoods wisdom. It got me a "masters"from the school of hard knocks. But. I'm not here to brag. 🏆😎👍🤔😵💫😂🤣😂
This has been going on since I was in high school 2011
My wife’s Jeep started getting them in 2017-18 in our area
Don’t know that she’s got that many, if any since Covid
They signify how many times it has broken down.
What keeps them from falling off of the dash?
The reason they have ducks is because if they drive into a lake they can be found where the ducky's are floating who would not know that.
*"Hey Nice Jeep"*
Isn't enough apparently 😂
It's duckin stupid.
Well just look at what they are on. Mall Crawlers, Sunday Drivers. I have a 94 YJ fully functional and is my daily but also trail ready and does the job pretty damn good. Got no ducks. Dont want no ducks. To each their own but for all you Duck people. No wave from this Jeep
Mine's a '97 TJ. I look at the "duck displayers" as wannabe poser jeepers. 😂
Mine are from kids mostly. I'm not going to be rude to a kid when they get out of their parents Jeep to give me a duck. I always have one to give them back. It's just being silly and I don't know why anyone would really give my old yj a second look.
It actually started in 2003 with the mini cooper community. I love it for any community as it spreads smiles !!!!
So all of US non Jeepers should start a trend by putting rubber animals on our dash!! 😊
Why are people in the comments mad about this?
Can’t afford a wrangler and are jealous
@@FP194 think you’re right…
@@FP194 buddy, nobody is jealous of that piece of junk.
@@FP194 the new shit will break down before your first payment tbh.
Jk is the last functioning jeep.
And even it was riddled with issues
TJ and older for real *Jeeps*
They’re just mad they never been ducked
It's worse than I thought
I had a jeep Cherokee , loved that thing. It ran for years and years and years and was so reliable. Didn’t ever put ducks on my dash board tho
Ok journalists, explain the little stuffed animal seen hanging from the outside rear of the car.
Usually on imports hanging from a recovery hook or exhaust pipe area….
I was ducked today for my first time & had to come see what it was all about! Super cool
haha it's funny..i was ducked today and did the same thing..like what the F..it is neat!! lol
I had a duck.. it flew out of my window on a turn. I turn hard.
😂
Each duck adds about 10k miles to the engine's life expectancy, gotta love the pentastar engine!
they have all their ducks in a row. 😂
My jeep has no rubber ducks. Guess I’ll buy some so people will think I’m cool. 😅
I think it’s only certain jeeps. Cause me and my brother both have jeeps and no one ducks us:(
Just do the respectable thing and spend the money on a Toyota!
It's a Grindr thing, you wouldn't understand. Jeeple display their pride on their dashboards, the more ducks the more pride🏳️🌈👨❤️👨👬💩
Jeeple??? .really..you all need to stop..it's annoying.
Hilarious
Haha!! I always had a feeling that Jeeple were secretly a part of that community! I mean if you're going to choose to drive a limp wristed Jeep when you could have chosen a Toyota then it makes sense that their... pride🌈💩... would be strong! 😂😂
They are on the Jeep dashboards so that the duckies will float to indicate when the Jeeps are driven too deep in flooded waters. Not a true answer, but it could be. ;)
If I had a jeep I would put a Howard the Duck statue on the dash.
I think it’s more of an east coast jeep thing. Coming from Utah and wheeling, I never saw these in my life until I moved back east. Tackiest thing I’ve ever seen 🤣
Your just Mad cause you haven't been ducked. It's ok
it’s in south too for sure just got one today
it was a little dinosaur duck 🥺
From PA & I second this!
Our 12 year old granddaughter gave us our first one. We received three more at a Jeep rally.
We have had our 2014 Wrangler JK since August. We put sturdier tires on her and have been have a blast on our Flint Hills Adventure Trail that goes from Oklahoma through our home state of Kansas into Nebraska. The rougher parts are our favorites. It’s our soon to be retired adventure plan, to be active overlanders. ✌️
It's not always a Jeep :P Sometimes it's a taco :)
If a taco has the ducks, it has automatically converted to a Jeep and is no longer considered part of the Toyota community
I hope it never happens to the Taco. These ducks in the jeeps is awful and so annoying. It’s like a really creepy cult fetish. Jeeps have to be the ugliest car out there and they are the worst drivers.
I don’t like stuff on the dash or hanging from the rear view mirror. I also hate when folks have about a foot of “stuff” hanging off their car keys.
Why does other people's stuff annoy you? It has zero effect on your life.
Because I’m exercising my freedom of speech and it annoys folks like you.
That’s called OCD.
It's how you tell if you are in too deep in the water. If it floats, start backing up. If it rolls off, you're at too steep an angle. If it's on the roof, you've rolled over.
So it’s a sex thing…. Got it.
It basically means you like anal with other dudes. Makes me chuckle when I see it.
Nothing like an obstructed view while driving.
If the view is obstructed, then you are too short to be driving.
Ive been asking this for a year . Thanks finally
What a beautiful, sweet n kind gesture. Much love to the woman who started this trend. Someone needs to find out her name. My daughter and I really enjoy looking at the ducks. Thank you for sharing the story. The question was answered. Much love peace and blessings to you all. 💋❤️💐✝️🙏💯🦆🐥
Jeeps are the perfect way to buy a personality.
really; what personality does it give u?
@@sixpest the one that makes you think a bunch of rubber ducks on your dash is cool.
@@gorehammer1so you’re the king of cool then I take it?
@@johnstamps4829 I’m at least cooler than your boyfriends gladiator.
@@gorehammer1 room temperature insult, you can do better than that 😉
More ducks means less offroad
I saw a couple jeeps yesterday with all these ducks on their dash. I wondered what the purpose was. I don’t remember audibly wondering, yet here is a video explaining it. Weird.
