While searching for more ways to enjoy your jeep, why not learn some of the terms and slang all the other jeep users are talking with these days?
The Jeep Wave
This first one is not a way of talking about a jeep, rather how jeep owners communicate with one another while riding along on any road. This special greeting is kept specially for jeep drivers, to greet one another when passing on the road. It usually entails one driver raising up 2 fingers while the hand is still on the wheel, and the wave being reciprocated by another jeep driver. This wave makes those jeep drivers more in-the-loop and acknowledging the good choice in vehicles the other jeep drivers have also.
Jeep Armor
Armor refers to the add-on’s jeep drivers attach to their jeeps to keep them protected while off-roading. While taking your jeep out to do all the things they are made to do, some extra armor, like corner guards and windshield protectors, will keep your jeep safe from the extra scratches. Participating in off-roading and adventuring in your jeep is an exciting aspect to being a jeep owner or driver, so keep in mind armor will help keep your jeep without a scratch or extensive destructive damage.
Souped-Up
The term souped up will be used when a jeep, more specifically Jeep Wrangler, is decked out in aftermarket jeep parts to enhance the look and feel of the jeep when off-roading. This souped-up look is achieved by adding accessories and parts to your jeep like chunky tires or making it look more hard-core.
OEM
This refers to jeeps that are not changed from the original manufacture of the vehicle. In other words, the “stock condition” of the Jeep. OEM just means no additions or custom items have been added to increase value to the jeep, new or used.
Bogging
Bogging is used to address taking your jeep out in the mud. It is highly recommended to get used to regular wheeling before taking a deep dive into mud pits. But Jeeps can handle the bogging and the down-and-dirty of it all.

Wheeling
Wheeling is trail running, rock climbing, and everything else you do off the pavement in your Wrangler!
Locking
Also referred to often as “lockers,” these greatly improve your Jeep’s capabilities in low-traction environments, such as ice and sand. When they are needed, lockers will “lock” the left and right wheels of an axle together, providing a boost in traction.
Death Wobble
A dreaded occurrence in the Jeep community is the “death wobble”, which is an ill-fated effect of the suspension of your Wrangle, which leads to intense front-end vibrations, or “wobbles.” This is due to the oscillation of the front axle, and it has the potential to end in disastrous fashion if not addressed immediately.
Beadlock
In a variety of off roading scenarios, the tire bead can be compromised. For example, when climbing over rocks. When pressure is reduced the bead can easily become compromised. Many Jeep owners will buy a ‘bead lock’ for this reason to maintain tire pressure.
Gnarly
Gnarly can have a positive or negative connotation for Jeepers depending on the circumstances. It could mean the route was overly challenging or caused damage to the vehicle, or, it could mean it was awesome!
Granny Gear
The lowest, slowest gear available. Meant to convey that only a grandma would potentially pass a traveler trekking at a slow pace.
Swaped
Generally used to describe a vehicle that’s been submerged in water and became stuck as it fills with liquid. It’s also meant to reflect the condition when the engine has stalled during a water crossing.
