1996 UNIMOG 404 with removable safari roll cage. This vehicle was completely restored in 2008 to be used in an off road tour business. The business was located in St John USVI was very profitable but was forced to close due to local politics. The Unimog was only in the USVI for one season then shipped back to Vermont where it is currently inspected,registeredand street legal. The 2008 frame off restoration was very thorough. The cab was restored and repainted in late summer of 2014 because the 2008 cab job turned out to be unsatisfactory to our standards. All rusted areas on the cab were cut out with new steel welded in. The vehicle has been driven less than 1000 miles since restoration. The safari roll cage was made by shop that makes racing cages and is very sturdy. The cage and back seat assembly comes off as a unit with the removal of 6 bolts, eaving a new diamond plate flat bed protected with nonskid paint. The safari cage passenger area seats 14 with seat belts.Restoration included:
