I like it. It’s like you’re a member in an exclusive club. That is so cool!

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.

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.

It’s a nice way to build onto our Jeep community. I see nothing wrong with it.

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…

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.

It's a great kind of way to respect some else's work they have done on their Jeep. I say keep on ducking and saluting your fellow Jeeper!

Not to mention if you get into an accident, there's FRIGGIN ducks everywhere

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.

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.

Like it or not this is part of the jeep culture now. it is not gonna change, it is a tradition now like the wave.

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.

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.

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.

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

I’m sure you’re really fun at parties. It is not that serious

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" 😂

I agree and can say that i have thrown many duck away keep them off my gladiator

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.

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...

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😊

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.

I just learned about this… today, and now I find out through you that there is controversy? I haven’t got a single one… landfill? Really?

I now understand why you have little followers and a lot of content

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.

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!

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

Just give it to a kid. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Some Oregon Jeep owners may feel a little conflicted about displaying or getting a duck. LOL

Hell. After driving Wranglers on and off (more on) since 1996, I don’t even wave anymore….

You make some great points!

they lost me when i saw 10k stock Jeeps with 100k ducks all over them

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!

My kids love it

Auto correct..... It's never Ducking.......

A dash covered in rubber ducks looks fuckin GAY

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. 😅

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

Everyone wants to be noticed for things these days. Just stop.
