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.

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!

Color and build are what get my attention and whether they get a duck… that’s just my personal preference!!

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…

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.

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

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

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 make some great points!

My kids love it

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Just give it to a kid. 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.

Almost all of the ones with a lot of ducks on the dash are stock ride height with angry eye grills.

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!

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!

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. 😅

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 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.

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
