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.
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?

so, virtue signalling then.
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.
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:
