Apollo 11 Splashdown Celebration
the USS Hornet, in Alameda, California, to test out the 2020 Jeep Gladiator and 2019 Wrangler on a custom-built
obstacle course. This event comes just a week after the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11’s splashdown upon re-entering
Earth’s atmosphere. The USS Hornet was there to retrieve the crew of Apollo 11 from the Pacifica Ocean back in 1969
and performed the same service for the crew of Apollo 12. The USS Hornet also participated in the three most
important WWII battles in the Pacific theater.Jeep has seen plenty of action on the military front, providing American armed forces with the 1944 Willys MB and
1951 M38 Navy Jeep, both of which were available for viewing on the USS Hornet. The USS Hornet Sea, Air and Space
Museum also had Jeep concept cars like the Jeep JK 75th Salute, JK Staff Car, JK Sarge J8, T1, JK Crew Chief and JK
JT available for consumers to view on the historic vessel’s deck.
The custom-built obstacle course was designed to highlight Jeep’s long history of performance. Features that tested
the 2020 Gladiator and 2019 Wrangler’s traction, capability, body strength, agility and were implemented in the
course. The 2019 Wrangler was named MotorTrend’s SUV of the Year and the 2020 Gladiator is Jeep’s return to the
mid-size pickup market.
We love seeing Jeep honor our veterans and support America’s armed forces. Here at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge
Jeep Ram FIAT of Springdale, we can personally attest to Jeep’s claims of top-of-the-line traction, capability, body

Your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Off-Road Survival Kit
time to plan another fun-filled adventure, and what better vehicle to do it in than the 2020 Jeep Gladiator? Whether
you’re going camping along the Buffalo or roaming trails unknown, the Gladiator is more than ready to handle the
rugged obstacles that Northwest Arkansas has to throw your way. Let’s take a look at some must-have items in your
off-road survival kit!
First off, water. Life’s most vital element is water and if you find yourself flat out of water, LifeStraw would be there to save the day. A Platypus Gravity bag never hurts to have either. Simply
store up to eight liters of water in the bag, hang it up and let gravity do the rest. Seriously, you don’t want to
be caught without water.
While the 2020 Jeep Gladiator is built for off-road performance, sometimes human error can diminish the off-road
vehicle’s performance. Let’s say you stop to camp for the night. You’ve got your tent set up, rain fly on just in
case and hot dogs roaring on the fire. But, you forgot to turn off your car’s lights. Whoops. You’re going to need a
jump or a new battery to get the Gladiator running again, but never fear, Uncharted Supply Company’s “Zeus” Battery is strong enough to revive even the
largest trucks. It even has USB outlets in the event of a dead phone or GPS. Definitely a must-have for an extended
outdoor excursion.
You can never plan for all of the random scrapes, bruises and, needless to say, plenty of bug bites along the way.
A reliable first-aid kit is essential to every off-road adventure. Hey, it never hurts to be safe than sorry. You
can pick up a starter safety-kit at just about every drug-store or supermarket, but if you’re looking for something
a little more all-encompassing, check out the Sportsman 400. This kit
is sure to patch up everything from the smallest of scrapes to splinting the most-painful of sprains.
There’s plenty of optional gear for any adventure, allowing you to mix-and-match your gear to fit your level of
expertise. We know that you’ll be blown away by the Gladiator’s performance and would love to help you get behind
the wheel of Jeep’s mid-size truck! Here at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT in Springdale, we’re
committed to bringing you the best selection of Jeep Northwest Arkansas has to offer. Gladiators are in high-demand
right now, but we’re more than ready to help you order one of these bad boys or keep you updated when we have more
on our lot. Go ahead and fill out our contact form and we’ll keep you in the
loop. Northwest Arkansas, we hope to earn your business here at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT in
Springdale!
Hidden Trio of Waterfalls You Must Visit in NWA
One waterfall not enough? Hop on the Ozarks Highlands Trail that runs through the Haw Creek Falls recreational area and follow the creek upstream toward Pack Rat Falls. You won’t have to walk too far to see this gorgeous waterfall, another short 0.25-mile walk, but you’ll be more than happy you ventured this far. The 24-foot cascading waterfall commands attention and makes for a beautiful scene amidst the lush, green Arkansas pines.
More waterfalls? We’ve got you covered. Backtrack down to the Haw Creek Falls rec area and cross Arkansas HWY 123 and continue along the right side of the creek for another quarter mile. You’ll find yourself enchanted by Pam’s Grotto, surrounded by bluffs and a towering 37-foot waterfall. This might be the most beautiful of the three waterfalls in the area. Snap a couple of pictures and soak it all in before trekking back to Haw Creek Falls campground. Need to cool off? Hop in Haw Creek Fall’s swimming hole and relax a bit before calling it a day.
Even though you’re in the forest, be sure to bring sunscreen and plenty of water! Haw Creek Falls is worth a day-trip and is easy enough for the whole family to hike and enjoy. Looking for a new ride to help you get out and explore the natural state? Here at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT of Springdale, we’ve got a fantastic selection of off-road-ready Jeeps. The 2019 Jeep Compass will have you planning out your next trip for months to come!

1) No one is sure where the name “Jeep” came from, though the answers with the best shot of being true are either that it was soldiers shortening the original Army vehicle designation “GP” for “General Purpose,” from the two syllable “GEE-PEE” to the single syllable “Jeep.” The second theory is that the name was adopted from Eugene the Jeep, a small, wily, magical creature that appeared in the early Popeye cartoons prior to World War II.
2) During World War II, a prototype of a flying Jeep was developed as a quick-deployment vehicle. Called the Hafner Rotabuggy, the heavily-lightened Jeep featured a helicopter-like rotor for lift. Though the design actually made short test flights, it was never put into production.
3) There is a worldwide organization of Jeep owners known as the Jurassic Park Motor Pool. Online at jpmotorpool.com, the only requirement for membership is owning a Jeep Wrangler YJ painted to resemble the Jeep Wranglers that co-starred in the 1993 Steven Spielberg film Jurassic Park.
Tips for Giving Your Jeep a Unique Personality
4) The familiar Jeep star painted on the hood of some U.S. Army Jeeps during World War II was actually a chemical weapon detector. After 1943, the circular field around the star was created with a special paint called “M5 Liquid Vesicant Detector,” which changed color from brown to bright red in the presence of poison gas. Directly in the driver’s line of sight, the star on Jeeps alerted troops that they needed to put on their gas masks a few precious minutes before the odor of chemical agents could be detected by the human nose. Think about that next time you see a Jeep Wrangler star decal!
5) The original Willys Jeeps deployed during World War II had nine slots in the grille, as opposed to the seven slot grille that has since become an iconic feature of Jeep design.
6) The original Oscar Meyer Weinermobile was built on a Willys Jeep station wagon chassis.
7) A Jeep was once driven up the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C. — this feat was performed in an original Willys Jeep prototype while the design was being evaluated for potential adoption by the U.S. Army prior to World War II.
8) The record for completely disassembling a running Willys Jeep down to its basic components and then reassembling it back to running status again is under four minutes! This achievement can be seen on YouTube in a video shot during a parade in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The feat was performed by a group of Canadian Army soldiers with the Third Area Support Group.
9) “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon appeared in HBO’s 2001 World War II miniseries “Band of Brothers” as a soldier driving a Willys Jeep.
4xe: The Electric Future of Jeep
10) During World War II, a Willys Jeep nicknamed “Old Faithful” (which had served as a staff car for four Marine Corps Generals in both the Pacific and European theaters) was officially awarded a Purple Heart due to damage suffered during the shelling of Guadalcanal. Retired from active duty in December 1943, Old Faithful was shipped back to the U.S. where it toured the U.S. helping sell War Bonds. It was eventually retired to the museum at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station in Quantico, Virginia, where it remains on display to this day. It reportedly still fires up and runs smoothly, even though it has never been overhauled or restored since its original assembly.
11) In 1970, Jeep built a prototype for a small, roofless sports car, the XJ-001. Though the powerful, short wheelbase prototype was well received on the show circuit, it never made it into production, and the only example was destroyed by fire while being transported for display at the Texas State Fair.
12) American soldiers riding in bare-bones military Jeeps over rough European roads during World War II regularly suffered injuries to the tailbone. The condition was so common it came to be known as “Jeep Bottom” or “Jeep Seat.”
13) In 1959, Jeep introduced a special version of the Jeep CJ just for hotels and holiday resorts: the Jeep Surrey. Painted in bright pastel colors like pink and light blue, with fringed tops in boldly striped fabrics, Jeep Surrey models are exceedingly rare today and coveted by collectors. Elvis Presley owned a pink Jeep Surrey which he used to drive visitors around the grounds at Graceland.
14) There’s no such thing as a 1996 Jeep Wrangler! This is because of a one-year gap between the end of production of the Jeep Wrangler YJ in 1995 and the start of production of the Jeep Wrangler TJ in 1997.
Upgrade Your Jeep with Our Mopar Parts & Accessories
15) The famous Museum of Modern Art in New York City has a 1953 Willys Jeep in its collection, citing it as an example of automotive design in its purest form.
The Stars & Stripes Edition Dodge Challenger and Charger debuted at the 2019 New York International Auto Show in New York City, with Dodge pointing out that the brand has the highest percentage of active-duty military customers among all major brands in the U.S. automotive industry. In addition, the Dodge Challenger and Charger have the highest percentage of active-duty military buyers in their respective vehicle segments of the market.
“Dodge is known for delivering custom looks straight from the factory. We also have a strong following of buyers who are in the military, as well as many buyers who are patriotic,” said Steve Beahm, Head of Passenger Car Brands for Dodge. “The Stars & Stripes Edition is an opportunity to deliver a custom look with unique elements that speak to those performance enthusiasts who want to extend their passion for their country to the Charger and Challenger.”
Externally, the Stars & Stripes Edition features a unique Satin Black and Silver accent stripe running the length of each car’s front fascia, hood, roof, trunk lid and rear fascia, along with Satin Black American Flag fender decals. Putting the substantial power to the ground are 20 by 9-inch satin-black wheels, showcasing bronze painted Brembo brake calipers on Challenger R/T Scat Pack and Charger Scat Pack models.
Inside, the salute continues, with gloss black interior accents, black-on-black cloth seats embroidered with a unique Bronze Star with unique bronze accent stitching, dark brushed metal interior bezels, and a unique bronze instrument panel badge.
The Stars & Stripes Edition is available on 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack, R/T and GT, and the 2019 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, R/T and GT models as a $1,995 option package. Available colors for Stars & Stripes Edition Challengers and Chargers include: Destroyer Grey, F8 Green, Granite Crystal, IndiGo Blue, Maximum Steel, Octane Red, Pitch Black, Triple Nickel and White Knuckle.
