Am I missing something here?

[Ark :D]

As seen in the Facebook "DF Goblin Owners Group";

What am I missing? What makes this build the "stupidest goblin build"? Looks like a fine A/T to me.

I'd ask but it's my wife's FB and don't want to start trouble on her account, ya know?

Looks fun to me, but there is a chance my opinion may be biased.

Welcome to the internet. It's easy to hate from behind a keyboard.

Perhaps they aren't even aware of the AT variant and just think this is actually a Goblin that's been 'modded'...?

That could be.

I thought it looked fun enough that I'm building one.
@Lonny What size tires do you recommend for the A/T?

 

[KSLunsfo]

That could be.

We know better, but either way, I think it's pretty darn cool looking...

Hell yeah, the A/T has grown on me, a lot. Would consider building one, but you know....

I probably would've built an AT over the street variant if it was AWD like a subaru donor or audi donor. Being only RWD and no LSD on top of that makes for more of an overlander than an off road vehicle IMO. Still a cool build none the less. Don't know why people feel the need to voice their negative opinion about stuff on the internet. It's either your cup of tea or it isn't, just move on. You wouldn't say that stuff at a car meet with the owner standing right in front of you 9 times out of 10 (some people are just straight a**hats), so why bother doing it on a post?

Facebook is NOT the Goblin forum, and people are really brave with their opinions when sitting behind a keyboard. What they don't realize is whatever you type and send is now a forever statement. Bet he would not be so brave about expressing his potty-mouthed opinion in person.

 

[r3drckt]

Not in front of you Sasqwatch lol

I have been curious how much a Goblin would fetch on Bring-A-Trailer, guess we get to see.

[escapepilot]

Since that is the OG built by Lonny and no more A/T kits are currently being offered...

 

[Jareth]

Current high bid is at $6,500

By our own @escapepilot , apparently!

I believe it appears that there is a Reserve on it so if bid doesn’t get higher it won‘t sell?

Most likely not. I believe the seller can choose to follow through with the sale, or not.

It will likely shoot up in the last few hours, they always do. It would be interesting to know what the reserve is, Unless someone on here bids it, I’ll be surprised if it meets reserve.

BAT is not a self incrementing auction. If you bid $20,000 it will jump to $20,000.

At that price, I’ll find a young Marine around here that can’t live without it.

 

[Jareth]

The high bid was $14,025, but the reserve was not met.
