Here Comes ‘The Hammer’: Dirt Trails Lead to YouTube Stardom

Sleek style, spectacular mods, and an unstoppable drive to tackle the coolest trails in America make JK Forum member Arthur Hughes’ 2015 Wrangler a social media star and March’s standout Jeep.

Before we lose ourselves admiring JK Forum‘s latest “Jeep of the Month” winner’s 2015 Jeep Wrangler, let’s just get this out of the way: His name is Arthur Hughes and his handle is “Dirt Hammer,” which he shortens to simply “The Hammer,” and when it comes to Jeeps, you simply can’t touch this.

Plus, when you couple the sheer magnitude of how stunning this one is with the equally captivating photography, it feels like seeing that Ferrari poster for the first time on your friend’s wall in high school. It’s undeniably captivating because of how it juxtaposes a clean, sleek sophistication with sheer badassery. (*Yeah, we know that’s not a word, but this unique Wrangler deserves its own vernacular!) It’s stark white exterior is perfectly complimented with a jet-black roof and accented beautifully with a mirror-finish chrome grill. And the piece de resistance: The Light Force Venom and Striker LED Driving Lights that announce its arrival. It looks like something James Bond would own, or the Stormtroopers on Hoth. To drive this thing, you may need more than a driver’s license or a license to kill. You need to be certifiably badass.

And looking at the magazine-worthy photographs of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler White Unlimited Sport at play in sun and snow, we have no doubt that this beast gets tested on its own endurance more often than not. Like in this clip of “The Hammer” and his Jeep exploring the trails of the southeastern United States’ scenic Cherohala Skyway and Bald River Falls, which shows how he is able to capture such great nature shots on video courtesy of a Jeep that can crawl along the edge of a slippery trail and not flinch once.

Even better, “Dirt Hammer” is an active outdoorsman and influencer with some of the best social media content we’ve come across in a long while. His Dirt Hammers Off-Road YouTube channel is an amazing resource for fellow Jeep owners and enthusiasts who are anxiously awaiting the moment we get the OK to start hitting the trails again. Until then, these beautifully shot road trips let you live out the adventure vicariously in crisp, vibrant color and beautiful cinematography that really brings out the mesmerizing natural beauty of areas like southeast Tennessee and northern Georgia.

“The Hammer” is also an engaging video host who acts as a tour guide throughout the travel clips that show his adventurous Wrangler in virtually every season and tackling anything in its way to explore the great outdoors. Of course, all this scenic trailblazing makes for one stand-out Instagram too!
