I learned about the wave in Illinois when I first bought it. A buddy of mine was a Willies owner and he filled me in.
I've been in a few places around the world so I'll give my experience by location.
Western PA - CJ/YJ/TJ love to return it, it was rare when they didn't.
Baltimore, MD / Wash. D.C. - Modded, yep. Unmodded TJ, rarely.
San Diego, CA - Fer Shure...
Colorado Springs, CO - mostly, exceptions were unmodded TJs
Bahrain (Persian Gulf) - *Only* to/from American military personnel wether it was modded or not. Locals didn't
seem to understand. I had enough trouble explaining that a suzuki was *not* a jeep. That made my blood
boil.
East Coast of Australia - Spent a month there. Saw one (1) jeep on my road trip (not in my jeep, unfortunately)
it was a beautifully restored willies. Everyone else seemed to have land rovers... Poor, misguided souls.
Hong Kong - No jeeps, just taxis.
Conclusion: If an owner mods it, or it's older, waves aplenty. If daddy bought it for the self-absorbed little snot,
blank stares.
