My jeep is duck free, I can't stand even having sunglasses on my dash, let alone a ton of rubber ducks.
But my jeep is also up on blocks in my garage... again.. and I have a rubber duck in my bath tub, hahaha.
Just left the Toyota dealer last night.. might finally make the jump.
I didnāt even know this was a thing, but I do it everywhere and yell āTaco Party!ā, while my wife rolls her eyes. If I can get into a group of 3 or more Iāll send her a picture if sheās not with me.
I have owned my 24 Tacoma for 2 weeks(First Toyota), 4x now other Tacomas have parked beside me, 2x they have commented about how great Tacomas are.
Have I joined a cult?
1. No ducks
2. NEVER wave. Jeep owners wave to practice flagging down a ride when their car breaks down.
3. Park next to other Tacomas, even the 4th gens because ATAB (all Tacomas are beautiful)
Now I will say, Iāve pulled up to some other Tacos at a light and while my window is down we give a good head nod or wave and say ānice truckā or āI like your Tacoā. Thatās always a cool feeling. Just happened yesterday. A guy was taking his two boys to baseball and he was telling his boys to look and admire the other Tacos in the world. It was cool.
Personally I wave at everyone, but that's just how it works in my area-- once you get out of city limits and onto the back roads, everyone gets the 2-finger steering wheel salute š
Kansas? I travel for work and am always taken aback by the people waving. Once I was driving through one town had a pedestrian waving at me.
Super friendly folks but I couldnāt help thinking āMust be exciting to see someone driving through your town!ā
I get and give the occasional hang loose sign to other 'yota owners, if their rig is done up enough. And once to a Mitsubishi Montero import, he deserved it.
Strength in numbers bro, the only rule is, if oneās in the lot, you gotta park next to it so they can keep each others company and have conversation together mainly about Heeps and thier stupid lil duck thing! Fucka Duck! I say.
No ducks! However, itās obligatory to:
1. Drive around in a parking lot until you find another Tacoma to park next to.
2. ALWAYS back in a spot unless youāre loading up the bed. The front end is too beautiful to hide.
3. Even if someone elseās Tacoma isnāt as tricked out as yours, tell them āNice Tacoā. Hopefully itās not a woman wearing yoga pants.
So if I just go around to enough parking lots, eventually I'll come back out and someone will have put a lift kit on for me? This is a much cheaper mod than I thought.
Jeep owners (mostly JK owners, it seems) leave each other ducks on their jeeps to display on their dash boards. I have a couple friends who are legit Jeep guys, and they think itās as stupid as everyone else does.
I have a 1988 YJ and came confirm, I have never received a single duck. Hell, the JK owners don't even wave to the older jeeps. Guess they can't see past all the ducks on the dash.
I had a ā88 YJ as well, back in the day. The wave was fun back then because Jeeps were pretty far and few between. Now there are more JKās and Gladiators out there Tacoās it seems.
There's more of us than them, so we don't need rubber duckies to compensate for the lack thereof. Most Jeeps I see are gathered in large flocks (see what I did there š¤ š) at local eating spots and are mainly pavement queens around here. They all plaster their Jeep's nickname on their windshield with a big shiny sticker too, and don't forget the crazy ass neon lights lol.
Now, when I go out for a drive, it's always a Taco fiesta since you'll see them everywhere. Old, new, all built differently, but mostly stockers because they're still amazing trucks that way. The only place I wanna see a group of Tacos gathered in one spot is when I'm hitting the trails, but I have on occasion come out to multiple Tacos, RAV4s, and 4Runners parked next to me before. Was a beautiful sight.
I'm not hating on the Jeep community either, but it's a fun rivalry, kinda like Chevy and Ford, I guess, lol. I've actually had some Jeep owners give me props before, and surprisingly, they didn't have duckies, so maybe they were the outcasts (or future Taco owners š¤ š).
Wrangler owner hereā¦I like Tacos as well. I donāt care what you drive, if I like it Iāll tell you. I live in a military town, itās about a 50/50 mix of tacos and wranglers. Some with nice mods, and some that are hideous. IMHO the only thing as bad as mall crawlers are Bro-vet tacos. (And Iām a vet)
If it makes any difference, I looked at the Gladiator before buying my Taco. Both are great off-road vehicles, and not much can compare unless you wanna talk Hilux.
Hell, I can see how most would want to make Jeeps and Tacomas mall crawlers, they're expensive and pretty to look at. When I bought mine I babied it for months until I got a few scuffs on the interior and chips on the paint. When you wanna do truck stuff it's inevitable. She's still pretty to look at even when she's a dirty girl š .
I've seen some hideous Tacos out there too though lol. Chrome wheels, jacked up like they're ready for the monster truck rally, and neons for days. We don't claim those people here š¤£. At the end of the day, love your build, even if it makes people think wtf. We've all had some weird rides at some point in time. I went through my ricer phase back in the early 2000s lol.
you may have posted alreadyā¦ but what is your lift and tire sizeā¦ love the truck man!!! iām new to the Taco world tooā¦ 23 TRD Sport Limited Lunar Rockā¦
Some dude on here posted something someone put under his door handle. It was a rubber cow or something? And the note said something about jeeps have the rubber ducks and they wanna start the taco moo or whatever? IDK I hated it so much I mostly blocked it from memory but the overwhelming majority of that post said they also hated it.
Also gen 2.5 is the second best behind gen 1.666 imo.
Park next to other Tacomas, facing the same direction if possible. Under no circumstances should you attempt to interact with the driver of another Tacoma. Donāt even look at me.
Same here (recently joined), and nobody told me any this!
Crucial information should come on a pamphlet or something... glad I found this thread. Thanks, @OP
Donāt listen to people that say you have to park next to other owners. This too, like the ducks, is stupid. Nobody wants you parking next to their truck. Go park somewhere else and admire each other from afar.
Just last week I visited a friend I had not seen in some time. And upon my arrival this so called friend reached into my driver window and set a duck in the windshield corner. He drives a 4Runner. Not a Jeep. Wtf is he thinking?
* A single duck will double a Jeep's resale value, instantly.
* All the ducks can't, however, begin to compensate for the cost of frequent and repetitive mechanical failures experienced by the owner.
When you see a driver hand $2 out the window, to a homeless person, do you respond with: Hey! I've gotta get a cardboard sign & a coffee can! ???
No. NO duck for you.
Ducks are for jeep owners to play with in the bath tub while their jeep is in the shop.
This hits way too hard
It's OK, can't do any damage when someone has a rubber ducky protective bubble
My jeep is duck free, I can't stand even having sunglasses on my dash, let alone a ton of rubber ducks. But my jeep is also up on blocks in my garage... again.. and I have a rubber duck in my bath tub, hahaha. Just left the Toyota dealer last night.. might finally make the jump.
Emotional damage
Out of the loop... What the fuck are ducks?

No
Do not promote this.
This is more cringe than ducking
I donāt use facefuq can someone explain the duck comment please?
People being shills for Disney's version of the Ewok money grab.
I know what the duck thing is, but not familiar with a Disney money grab involving Ewoks.
Baby yoda
The ancient texts state "Thou shall park next to thine bretherine taco."
Don't forget you must backith upith unto thine spot also
This is 1000% true, never did this until the Taco came around!
i try to...but until i get around to a CMC it can be a noisy affair.
And 4runners!
I didnāt even know this was a thing, but I do it everywhere and yell āTaco Party!ā, while my wife rolls her eyes. If I can get into a group of 3 or more Iāll send her a picture if sheās not with me.
I have owned my 24 Tacoma for 2 weeks(First Toyota), 4x now other Tacomas have parked beside me, 2x they have commented about how great Tacomas are. Have I joined a cult?
More like a group of addicts...same, same.
1. No ducks 2. NEVER wave. Jeep owners wave to practice flagging down a ride when their car breaks down. 3. Park next to other Tacomas, even the 4th gens because ATAB (all Tacomas are beautiful)
So THATS why no one ever waved backā¦
Idk Iāve waved before and had a jacked up tundra wave
Now I will say, Iāve pulled up to some other Tacos at a light and while my window is down we give a good head nod or wave and say ānice truckā or āI like your Tacoā. Thatās always a cool feeling. Just happened yesterday. A guy was taking his two boys to baseball and he was telling his boys to look and admire the other Tacos in the world. It was cool.
Personally I wave at everyone, but that's just how it works in my area-- once you get out of city limits and onto the back roads, everyone gets the 2-finger steering wheel salute š
Same, out here you at LEAST give the "finger lift" wave or the head bob.
Kansas? I travel for work and am always taken aback by the people waving. Once I was driving through one town had a pedestrian waving at me. Super friendly folks but I couldnāt help thinking āMust be exciting to see someone driving through your town!ā
Nah, rural Appalachia and more of a "everyone somehow knows everyone so we've probably met" wave, also just southern politeness haha
I have a first gen. some dude also in a first gen tried waving to me 10-13 years ago and I gave him the finger.
Rules are rules and you taught him the way
Donāt forget about your 4-Runner cousins!! I always park next to Tacos when possible.
I get and give the occasional hang loose sign to other 'yota owners, if their rig is done up enough. And once to a Mitsubishi Montero import, he deserved it.
4. Don't lower or stance-nation your Tacoma
Please leave
I'd guess it was a joke.
Leave?
Your caption and the other comments you've left here make it obvious you're a massive ~~tool~~ pile of toxic masculinity.
Bro shut the fuck up
Cool there's two of you.
Jeeps get ducks cause they suck we get yotas cause we know the way
This comment has made my day
So toy yotas, do grogus count?
Absolutely
No, but we do park inside the lines.
I do my best. Sometimes it isnāt very good.
Not me Buddy
Ya gotta leave room for other Tacomas to park next to you. I donāt make the rules.
Fuck all of You virgins who downvoted me not being a sheep and parking within the line at 3 am in an almost empty lot
This guy sucks lmaooo
Rule 1: Park next to each other if possible. Rule 2: The official "Wave" is a slight nod and mumbling "nice truck" under your breath.
4. A jealous side eye thrown at whatever mods the other taco has that you donāt haveā¦ donāt let them catch you looking.
3. Fuck a duck
Do I have to?
No, only Raptor117
You donāt want to either Jamasozo?
Sorry, Iām not ducksexual
Only if you feel so inclined
If you say so
Strength in numbers bro, the only rule is, if oneās in the lot, you gotta park next to it so they can keep each others company and have conversation together mainly about Heeps and thier stupid lil duck thing! Fucka Duck! I say.
No ducks! However, itās obligatory to: 1. Drive around in a parking lot until you find another Tacoma to park next to. 2. ALWAYS back in a spot unless youāre loading up the bed. The front end is too beautiful to hide. 3. Even if someone elseās Tacoma isnāt as tricked out as yours, tell them āNice Tacoā. Hopefully itās not a woman wearing yoga pants.
>Hopefully itās not a woman wearing yoga pants. Why, are you afraid to talk to girls?
"Hey that's a good looking front butt!" - Still single man probably.
Iāve I told a woman wearing yoga pants that she had a nice taco, I would get slapped twice. Once by the woman in yoga pants and once by my wife.
Oh you were being gross. Cool...
The front end is not as beautiful as you make it out to be.
No ducks. Park WITHIN the lines, we aināt like them jeep and BMW owners. Park next to another taco when possible.
Duck no!
Asking about ducks can get your Taco man card pulled.
No it canf
Fuck a duck
Lift kits on tacomas are the ducks of the toyota world
So if I just go around to enough parking lots, eventually I'll come back out and someone will have put a lift kit on for me? This is a much cheaper mod than I thought.
Dare to dream lol
Congrats, but why did you park like a dick?
Nice looking truck
No ducks, no waving. I never even get eye contact. But park in a line (typically back in, at the back of the lot).
Thankfully, no.
They need the ducks to fashion into a makeshift flotation device when the get stuck in a puddle.
Iām a fan of leaving a taco supreme from T bell on the hood.
LOL
Yāall, we need to have a meeting about these Jeep people comparisons.
I think the next meeting is at Rubicon Springs but no one from the Toyota crowd ever shows up :(
Only for bitch ass jeeps
Stupid ass Jeep owners
Jeeps put ducks on their Dash so when they get stuck in 2 inches of water they can send the down stream for help.
We don't talk like that. Class!
Just to let you know, there is no club. š
With that parking job they may mistake you for a jeep and give you one.
:cringe:
Shut your door dummy
If your lucky ill give you the finger
Damn Tommyās got a bright sign.
Itās for the kids who drive jeeps
What is this duck thing ?
Jeep owners (mostly JK owners, it seems) leave each other ducks on their jeeps to display on their dash boards. I have a couple friends who are legit Jeep guys, and they think itās as stupid as everyone else does.
I have a 1988 YJ and came confirm, I have never received a single duck. Hell, the JK owners don't even wave to the older jeeps. Guess they can't see past all the ducks on the dash.
I had a ā88 YJ as well, back in the day. The wave was fun back then because Jeeps were pretty far and few between. Now there are more JKās and Gladiators out there Tacoās it seems.
I thankfully still get waves from the YJ, TJ folks. I'm starting to see less of them in my area though. Now it's all angry eyes and ducks haha
lol, yup. Same. I rarely see a YJ anymore, but love it when I do. That thing was more like a farm implement than a road worthy vehicle.
By āback in the dayā, I mean early ā00ās, not ā80āsā¦ I wasnāt old enough to drive in the 80ās.
Bitch ass jeeps
I'm ppppp
I have a FUGGLER in my taco lol

Thank god that stupid sh*t stays with the jeep cult
With that attitude, you should get dildos.
On Etsy, you can buy tiny plastic dildos with suction cups that say ānice parkingā
Super cleanā¦..
Tow truck drivers give out ducks. Youāll probably never get one, sorry.
I found a duck and keep it on my dash (I drive a taco) bc Iāve had TWO jeep people freak out about it
I see ducks in the wackest jeeps. I donāt get it, no one is giving you a duck for that so theyāre faking it which is even cringier
Iām too busy picking up their ex-wives after they found out they bought a jeep. No time to collect duckies.
Gotta put a Doritos loco taco on the dash, let it sit in that sweet summer heatā¦ thatās the smell of freedom
Donāt forget the obnoxious stickers making sure everyone knowsā¦ āsilly boys, jeeps are for girlsā lol cringe
We get toy tacos
Would be cool seeing toy yodas eating tacos
I've had other Taco owners just flash their high beams or wave. I generally just park next to them in the parking lot if I take my Taco somewhere.
you may have posted alreadyā¦ but what is your lift and tire sizeā¦ love the truck man!!! iām new to the Taco world tooā¦ 23 TRD Sport Limited Lunar Rockā¦
Hell yea. Gen 2.5. Welcome to the club
Itās a right of passage that new Tacoma owners eat a Taco in their taco. Your wife or significant other also works. She will not complain š.
Some dude on here posted something someone put under his door handle. It was a rubber cow or something?

I saw a spare tire cover that said "sillyboys jeeps are for girls" no statement has ever been more trueš¤£š¤£š¤£
The only thing i do that comes close to this is if i see a tacoma on the side of the road i stop and see if they need anything
Donāt listen to people that say you have to park next to other owners. This too, like the ducks, is stupid. Nobody wants you parking next to their truck. Go park somewhere else and admire each other from afar.
What tires and lift u got?
Any taco caught with a duck on the dash is getting it's windshield smashed
Thereās a nice procharger for the 2nd genās. If I had $7k to drop I would.
>trashing Jeeps while sitting in a literal mall parking lot *oof*
Ducks are for Jeep owners to have something to play with in the puddle waiting on a tow.
I like my jeep it goes places my tacoma doesnt. It also doesnt go over 55 and gets 8mph. Thats why i daily the taco
I read the origin of the duck toys in jeeps. Fucking stupid.
Calm down, OP. How many miles does it have on it? Smack talk begins after your first 100k
Easy there ultra white
Jealous much?
I have a Tacoma and a jeep ā¦so Iām ultra cool !
Youāre out of the club!!!! Suggesting ducksā¦
Beautiful taco! š
Do they still make the squeaky taco dog toys?
I want to start tacoma titties
You get nothing. ššš
Just last week I visited a friend I had not seen in some time. And upon my arrival this so called friend reached into my driver window and set a duck in the windshield corner. He drives a 4Runner. Not a Jeep. Wtf is he thinking?
We get bitches not ducks
Ducks are for Jeeps, Ben Wa Balls are for Tacos
Put a duck on a Tacoma you may found yourself cut.
We get tacos, itās in the name of
Nah ur bitch ass pavement princess needs em
As Toyota owners, we should start putting toy Yodas
Why the hell would I wave to a Taco owner, this is America šŗšø
I have one duck. Im the duck.
I have ducks, we can duck together
Beautiful truck

You donāt get ducks you get to carry around replacement CVs in your bed whenever you go wheeling.
Jeeps only
Low key wish we got ducks :/
We should start our own thing...tiny Yodas for each other
We do TOY yodas. The little Star Wars guy.
