    I got my wife a CNC machine last Christmas and naturally had to give it a try for myself, so I decided to try and make a simplified version of my truck.

    I think it turned out pretty good! Still needs some stain and accent paint for the body lines, but it makes a great workbench ornament already!

    Need to add my kayak rack and softopper to it next!

    Link to the machine? Sounds cool. Looks neat!

    Also, can it fit 3.3's without rubbing?

    Lol I never actually measured the tires until you asked this, but they come in at just over 3", so maybe with a small lift!

    I went with the MPCNC, it's pretty DIY to put it together, took me about 8 hrs between cutting all the railing system and setting up the wiring so it looked clean, but by far best value for the size of the build area.

    Totally, go for it! She had a scroll saw and loved the things she could make with it, but hated actually working with it, so this works out way better for her.
