If you’ve been in the Jeep community for some time, you’re likely familiar with the endearing tradition of ducking Jeeps. If you’re a recent Jeep owner, you may have been surprised at one point to come back to your car and find a rubber duck sitting on top of it. Jeep rubber ducks are a tradition that has stuck around and grown exponentially within the last few years, bringing smiles to owners, fostering a sense of community, and celebrating the playful, adventurous spirit that brings Jeep enthusiasts together.
There are actually a few different renditions of the story of the Jeep rubber duck’s origin. The most widely agreed upon story is that in 2020, a woman experiencing a hard day wanted to spread some joy. As a Jeep owner herself, she wrote the note “Nice Jeep” on a rubber duck and placed it on another Jeep in a parking lot. Her act of kindness spread rapidly on social media with the hashtag #duckduckjeep. Many Jeep owners began collecting them on their dashboard - a reminder of the fun-loving, kind community that we get to be a part of.
We love the Jeep rubber ducks movement - so much so that we even have our own custom blue ducks that are reminiscent of the blue jackalope in our logo, Wilder.
