    Yep. That one was sold in Liberia. The 4th one from the dealer there. I've seen a white Badlands in Liberia and a Area 51 (not sure of the trim, was going the other direction) in San Jose.

    There's about 10 6G Broncos in the country total. Your best bet is to contact Nomad if you are looking for a real off-road worth rental. They have defenders and land cruisers. Or you could rent my favorite hire car in CR: a Jimny. https://www.nomadamerica.com/

    We chose to take the shortest route possible through Mexico and took all the toll roads that were possible. This kept us moving fast and away from any scary areas. I would like to do the drive again and take a month or more. But this trip was all about getting home quickly. On our route, I felt...

    There is private and national health care. If all depends on the expat status you choose to live with. You can be a perpetual tourist and leave the country every 90 days for a few hours, here private is your jam. A temporary resident will pay into Caja which is the national health care system...

    Nicaragua was 3.5 hours in and about an hour out. I've heard stories of 5 hours or more. Wouldn't say more secure, just lots of bureaucracy and lack of organization.

    There are places you should avoid in those countries, but that's easy enough. Overall I've felt less safe in a few US cities, unfortunately...

    Saw two Broncos today, a White Outer Banks in the wild in downtown Liberia, Guanacaste and a Cyber Orange Wildtrak at the Ford Dealer in the same city. The Wildtrack has a price of $116,000 on it. They said they have sold 4 total out of that dealer so far.

    We are building a home on 5.5 acres. In the meantime the house in the photos is a rental.

    That would be a bad idea. Not trying to get thrown in jail. Here in CR, I have to wait until I'm a resident to get a firearm. About 3 years. I don't feel the need for one here anyways.

    Totally fine. Never even got to use 4wd....

    The headlight would have been an issue in the dark, there was nearly 3/4 of an inch of snow caked over them.

    The only thieves we encountered were the transit police outside of Tampico... The rest, we felt safe and secure. In Mexico, we stuck to the Gulf side and mainly on toll roads for speed and security. Only a few spots along the edges of Tegucigalpa, Honduras felt a tad sketchy.

    Gracias! They sell the Bronco here in CR, it may take longer than in the US, but warranty and parts are good to go.

    The reason we put on seat covers for the trip. At nearly 100 hours of seat time, it was a necessity.

    My friend went to a language school in Guatemala and learned nothing. The instructor just wanted to party with by buddy... Not that that is an indication of all Guatemalan language schools, just a funny story.

    I'm not sure of the situation regarding buying in Honduras. I will say the roads were pretty good on the route we traveled. In fact, CA-2 was the nicest road of the entire trip. I plan to buy an old beater pick up (prob Nissan Frontier NP), as the Bronco will be the reliable rig for long trips...
