If you’re a Jeep owner or enthusiast, you may have heard the term Jeep Ducking floating around. But what exactly does it mean, and why do Jeep Wranglers get “ducked”? Let’s dive into this unique tradition and explore the origins and significance in the Jeep community.

 

What is Jeep Ducking?

Jeep ducking is a fun and lighthearted tradition among Wrangler owners where they attach rubber ducks to their dashboard. These rubber ducks come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, adding a whimsical touch to the vehicle’s appearance.

 

Where Jeep Ducking Started

The practice of Jeep Ducking originated in a small town in Canada in 2020. A woman named Allision Parliament, from Ontario, randomly bought a bunch of rubber ducks from a convenience store and gave one to another Jeep owner with a note that said, “Have a Great Day.” The intent was to bring a smile to the individual and spread a little cheer that we all needed during the pandemic.

The small interaction turned out much better than expected. The Jeep owner walked out of the store and at first, was confused when he saw a rubber duck being placed on his Jeep. However, after reading the note that was left behind, left a huge smile on his face. That night, #DuckDuckJeep was born after being posted on Instagram and the rest is history.

 

A Fun Tradition That Keeps Growing

Whether you’re a seasoned Jeep owner or new to the Jeep community, Jeep Ducking is a fun and meaningful tradition that celebrates the spirit of adventure and camaraderie among Jeep enthusiasts.
