It's September 2024 -- my 11-year old granddaughter told me we have to get cute little rubber ducks so we could DUCK JEEPS. I just searched it on here because I had no idea what she meant, and found this video. So now I guess a Ducking we will go ❤ 🐥
In a world of automotive culture, there exists a peculiar tradition known as “Jeep ducking.” While not as recognized as other automotive manners, such as waving to fellow Jeep drivers or the Jeep wave, this practice holds a special place in the hearts of Jeep enthusiasts worldwide. Originating from humble beginnings, Jeep ducking has evolved into a lighthearted and endearing custom that fosters camaraderie among Jeep owners. The origins of Jeep ducking can be traced back to the early days of World War II. As the United States military deployed its robust fleet of Willys MB and Ford GPW vehicles, soldiers quickly formed a deep attachment to these rugged and versatile machines. Amidst the harsh realities of war, soldiers found solace and amusement in personalizing their Jeeps, often affixing makeshift mascots and ornaments to the front grille. One such ornament that gained popularity among servicemen was the rubber duck. While the exact reason behind choosing a duck remains uncertain, theories suggest that it symbolized good luck or served as a whimsical reminder of home amidst the chaos of battlefields. Regardless of its initial significance, the rubber duck became an iconic fixture on many Jeeps, earning it the moniker “Jeep duck.” After the war, as veterans returned home and civilian versions of Jeeps became available, the tradition of adorning Jeeps with rubber ducks persisted.
Allison Parliament started it, she’s from Canada and was driving in America one day and a guy verbally attacked her and told her to go back to where she came from! So she went to a store and saw some little plastic jeeps, and bought them and started putting them on peoples cars basically saying hello, you’re OK no matter where you’re from or no matter who you are, and I like your jeep, and smile… That’s where it started from. She passed away unexpectedly though. June 22, 2024.
Hi. I am Branko Lazić, documentary filmmaker. I have an idea to make a documentary film with the question "What are all the things people hang on their car's rearview mirror?"Or what we put in front of us when we go on a journey ?. I see that in this yours film you have a great video of what your companions put on the rearview mirror. I have a small request, could I use this 30 second clip of yours in my movie. Of course I would sign you as the author at the end of the film. Thank you very much and have a good tri
Those rims are way too nice to take on the trails. I would definitely have another set for when you go wheeling. Did you try turning on your lockers when you were sick in the mud? Looks like a good time.
On my 2023 Wrangler, under the front bumper is a plastic deflector which has the seven grill slots and the bolts holding it on represent the headlights, I think.
