TRANSFORMING a standard truck into an off road monster has been a passion project for one man and his team of genius engineers. Gregg Higgs is owner of Fab Fours, a car accessory manufacturer that has become known as the company behind some truly inventive custom car designs. Gregg and his team have now transformed a 2015 Chevy Colorado truck into a 4x4 beast named Kymera, that might just be the wackiest design from the team yet. Gregg told Ridiculous Rides: “The whole point of Kymera is just to be over-the-top absurd. There's mild, wild, and then Kymera. It's just out of control.”

02:20Top speed for this thing, honestly, you're looking at about 45, 50 miles an hour.
02:25Probably could do 70, 80, but it'd be like the spruce goose in that thing.
02:30It's going to come unglued.
02:31And it is going to just let it rip.
02:35Everybody's keeping it in.
02:36Woo-hoo!
02:40As soon as you get off onto the trail, different animal.
02:45All together.
02:46As long as you're going five, seven miles an hour.
02:50Perfect.
02:51Super comfortable off-road.
02:53All the traction you need.
02:55And that's where Chimera shines.
03:00We're going through the woods.
03:01People are going to be smiling ear to ear.
03:04And it just looks like...
03:05I'm a movie star.
03:06This thing's out of control.
03:10Four-wheel drive.
03:11Trails.
03:12Chimera takes all of that experience.
03:15Just to the extreme.
03:16Being in it, you can't do it.
03:20You can't see a whole lot.
03:21You can't hear anything.
03:23And you're just really holding on and pounding.
03:25Away.
03:26And try not to get beat up on the cage and everything.
03:30Because that 12-valve is just...
03:35rattling your bones right behind the seat.
03:38You can really just point and shoot.
03:40Let it bounce over everything.
03:42The low top kind of gives it...
03:45That sinister feel.
03:46This thing looks like it's angry and moving fast just sitting still.
03:50It would not be a day of wheeling if you did not have to bust out.
03:55Your tool bag at least once.
03:57Boom!
03:58While we're pushing the limits of a...
04:009,000 pound truck.
04:02Crazy power.
04:03We can go fast.
04:04We can get...
04:05Get technical in the rocks.
04:06We've got it all in one.
04:08Making people smile.
