You may have heard the terms \u201cgetting ducked\u201d or \u201cDuck Duck Jeep\u201d, but if you\u2019re not in the Jeep world (and maybe even if you are), it\u2019s probably not obvious what these terms mean. Duck Duck Jeep is a viral trend that started in 2021 with Canadian Allison Parliament when she first placed a little rubber duck on a Jeep that looked like hers. Since then, the trend has exploded and can include any Jeep that you\u2019d find at your Jeep dealer.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Are There Rules For Jeep Ducking?<\/h2>\n

Even though the trend started with and is mostly connected to Jeep Wranglers or the early Jeep CJ models, there are no model-specific rules for Jeep Ducking. You can \u201cduck\u201d any Jeep<\/strong><\/a> that catches your eye. The point of the trend is simply to make other Jeep owners smile. Maybe it\u2019s the same color or model Jeep that you have, a cool classic Jeep, or a Jeep you\u2019d like to have in the future.<\/p>\n

The only other rule for Jeep Ducking is to keep it noninvasive. This means not placing a duck inside a Jeep (if the top and doors are off) but rather in an easily-seen location like the hood, fenders, front bumper, or side steps of the Jeep. It also means that you don\u2019t run up someone\u2019s driveway and put a duck on their Jeep. Ducking is more meant for that Jeep you park next to in a parking lot.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

To get started, all you need to do is buy some small rubber ducks and keep an eye out for a cool Jeep. You might also consider writing something on the duck, such as \u201cNice Jeep\u201d. Another common decoration is stickers or writing that outlines the traditional seven-slot Jeep grille framed by a pair of headlights.<\/p>\n

Spread the Trend<\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, it\u2019s common to write things on the duck complimenting the owner\u2019s Jeep, but it\u2019s also popular to include the hashtag #duckduckjeep to encourage the owner to post the duck and their Jeep on social media. This makes the trend more visible to current Jeep owners
\nand also those planning to visit a Jeep dealer for their first Jeep.<\/p>\n

You can get plain yellow rubber ducks almost anywhere, including Amazon. But some Jeepers like to take things even further and stock up on fancy rubber ducks. Amazon is a popular place to look for Jeep ducks, and some retailers like to add things like tags with messages on them. Although this trend is primarily for Jeeps, it\u2019s not unheard of for Jeep owners to \u201cduck\u201d another vehicle that is similar to theirs. For example, old Land Cruisers, Ford Broncos<\/strong><\/a>, and the like are all possible candidates for ducking.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a Duck Pond?<\/h2>\n

Some Jeep owners have seen their Jeeps ducked so many times that they\u2019ve built up a collection of ducks. If you see a Jeep with a line of ducks across its dashboard, that\u2019s the duck pond. The easiest way to build your own duck pond is to get out there and start ducking other Jeeps. Some Jeepers like to keep a stash of ducks and a marker in their glove box, but how prepared you are to go \u201cducking\u201d is up to you.<\/p>\n

The Jeep world can be wild and crazy, but you can join it today when you visit your Jeep dealer<\/strong><\/a> to look at the latest models.<\/p>\n
