Ducking is a fairly sacred community thing among Jeep owners, most specifically with Wranglers and now Gladiators. Ducks are always gifted as a random act of kindness, so a Jeep with a lot of ducks suggests that person has been rather active in the community.
The comment you’re replying to here sounds adorable though.
Personally I’ve found that no matter what car you buy there is a surprisingly large number of people that want to shit on it, and on you. Like, amazingly large and this thread is a great example.
So I guess you’re stuck with thay no matter what, might as well get what you personally want and for your own reasons. Not what you’re afraid people will think about it.
Or they’re like my neighbor, whose dash was completely covered a day or two after he got his Jeep. Plus handprint stickers on his mirrors, which I guess is another Jeepstagram trend?
Jeep guy also has rubber ducks glued to his dash. Dozens of them. For reasons?
Ducks are fairly all terrain creatures. I guess it’s as close to Eugene as it gets.

I used to want a Jeep, the comments in this post as well as this insight into the subculture have turned me right around.

I can’t tell if this is real or not.
Its real. In the mercedes community (S class or better) we use dildos for the same purpose.
This is so interesting. A friend of mine drives a Tesla and apparently with Teslas it’s bricks.
It is. Jeep people give ducks to each other. It’s weird.
Idk I think that sounds kinda nice, it’s rewarding positive behavior instead of being a dickhead so I think it’s cool.
And apparently it just started recently during the pandemic?
EDIT: not sure why I was down voted, but yes this phenomenon started in 2020 like I thought:

*Orders a box of rubber ducks just in case
Hearts and minds
As a Gearhead, I find this so dumb. I don’t want people to leave trash on my vehicle, and I don’t want my dash cluttered with toys.
Normally, a driver won’t want anything on the dash. Specially colourful stuff because it would cause reflections on the wind-shield.
so, virtue signalling then.
that’s a stupid as shit take and a stupid as shit phrase but ok
