OT: What's up with the Ducks?
- Thread starter Darryl Steight
- Start date
A co-worker that drives one tells me that its a sign that someone saw your jeep and likes it so they give you a duck. If someone puts a duck on your Jeep that you don't like you just re-gift it to somebody else like a moldy Christmas fruitcake.

People actually like Jeeps?
I have no idea. My Jeep is so old that it doesn't have a dashboard, thus it renders the little rubber ducks ineffective. They would have to defy gravity somehow.
As someone who drives a jeep, I think the ducks are beyond ridiculous. You want to display children's bath toys on your dash? Cool bro!
On top of that, I'm sure there's a very small subsection of jeepers that do leave ducks on people's jeep as a way of saying "hey, nice jeep" but I'm convinced that the vast majority of people acquire/procure them on their own just to line them up on their dash.

It means they're not laughing with you, they're laughing at you.
It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand...
Did yall know you can just take one of those ducks if you see one, doesn't matter what you drive or anything?
(That's not really true - somebody will send you a bill.)

It's an old M38A1. Don't think that would work. It's a Jeep that's exempt from the ducks.
Its the replacement of the pineapple to signify swingers.
I have a jeep that I purchased for the sole reason that it's super easy to tow behind the RV. It serves the purpose. I caught someone as they were putting a duck on it and said "Don't do that. I don't participate." He looked at me like I slapped him. I felt bad afterwards. I should have just said thanks and tossed it in the trash later.
I never thought I'd have one either. Life happens unfortunately. At least it's all mechanical and will be 70 years old next year.
I used to only see stuff like that on dash of girls vehicles. Now I just assume that folks with all the ducks on their dash are trying to identify the same way.
Seriously, 9 out of 10 4dr Wranglers in Tuscaloosa are driven by girls aged 16-24, have dashboards covered with stupid rubber toys, and has never been off asphalt in its existence.
If you want to get there, take a Jeep.
If you want to get there and get back, take a Toyota.
If you want to prove you're better than everyone else (and can afford to replace the Transmission every three years), drive a GMC.
I have a Jeep and I don’t understand.
Read an article on how it started a few years ago....there was a connection to Huntsville, AL. I think she either started it in Huntsville and moved back to Canada and continued with it or vise versa. I think she was dealing with some health issues and she started leaving ducks on jeeps cause it made her feel good.
Being absolutely serious when I say I read your posts in Jack Klompus’s voice and it really doesn’t matter what the post is, it sounds hilarious every time.
Jeeps are unique in the automotive world in that they’re like a blank canvas. You can leave them completely stock or you can add anything from minor accessories to full blown builds to make it your own. If you own a white Silverado it’s like every other white Silverado on the road regardless what you do to it. Ducks are just a way of acknowledging that someone admires your Jeep. I have two ducks, if I receive another, I regift it.
No one needs to look at my jeep then, I have a ton of ducks on it. I am indifferent, but my kids love it. I try to secretly give them away but those damn things multiply
Suspension problems doesn’t make it unique!
my wife just bought a Jeep and is all into the ducks, dash is full of them and has a bag in the back seat to pass out. I hate them, when I drive they fly everywhere and she fusses.
