Cruisers seen in Central America- Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico

Other Cruisers we've seen (just some of them).

40 Series

45 Pickup spotted near Antigua Hood was up, but just to install a new horn Tired, but still running. 45 in Nicaragua 45's are still at work in Honduras (Copan)

45 Pickups are a pretty common in Costa Rican markets
45 Pickup with wooden bed in Atenas, Costa Rica Nice diesel 45 in the mountains of Guatemala Roland's Swisscruiser. Super-custom camper on what used to be a 45 Troopie

40 towing cow trailer in Nicaragua. Can't imagine how poorly this thing must handle when that trailer is full of four or five cows (and yes, they put at least 4 or 5 in those tiny trailers) A clean 45 and a 40 too. Liberia, Costa Rica A 40 (with 45 cab) tow-truck and a 75 troopie. Just a normal day at the shop... (Liberia, CR) 45's with wooden beds are pretty common. This one was by a construction site near Tamarindo. Don't know if the beds are anti-rust... or just cheaper to fix when broken.

50 Series

55 with CA plates in San Carlos, Mexico Battled-scarred taxi cab in Huehuetenango, Guatemala Another 55 taxi, Huehuetenango, Guatemala

Rare ambulance doors on a 55 Same pig, up front

60 Series

Tired and rusty, but diesel. Check out the funky windshield tint too.This was sitting near the dock in La Ceiba, Honduras Mild lift, cool orange stripes. Missed the shot mostly due to traffic. (Tela, Honduras) Nice hiroof HJ60 on Bocas del Toro, Panama Same Bocas 60. The only cruiser I saw on the island (in 1 day).

60 seen in the hills near San Ramon, Costa Rica. Note the factory roof rack (bent) and the blacked out headlight bezels- seems a popular thing to do down here. Non-factory paint color, dark dark green.

70 Series

70 in Antigua, Guatemala The airport uses some sort of 70 for tow truck duty. (San Jose, CR) Beautiful Expedition Troopie. Note the pop top, solar, double spares... nifty. Spotted in Rincon de la Vieja, Costa Rica. Steve drooled over this 75 troopie for a while by the shores of Lago de Yojoa, Honduras Dual fuel tanks, diesel, SW antenna on the bullbar, winch, factory snorkel… Too bad the US doesn't get these rigs.

70 parked in Copan, Honduras More of the airport 70 towtruck. (San Jose, CR) 75 Pickups are all over the place (Copan Ruinas, Honduras) Not sure what this is, but I like it! (San Jose, CR) 75 w/ SpringOver. Nice trail rig. Friendly fellow waved and said hello while we were getting gas near San Jose, CR

2004 7X pickup with a diesel motor, front and rear electric lockers, 5speed, front coils... drool. (Tamarindo, CR) San Jose Traffic Cops get all the cool toys! (San Jose, CR) 78- with front coils. I almost even like the yellow.
Very nice, brand new, dealer modified diesel 78 for sale in Liberia, CR for about $62,000. More pictures
Killer travel setup. 78 pickup, lockers, diesel. The overhang on the camper is a little extreme, but otherwise cool. (Junquillal, CR)

80 Series

Nice looking 80 Diesel in Copan, Honduras, note the turbo sticker on back and if you look carefully, there is a 45 Pickup in the background Same 80, note the electric winch cover, very nice The kind of bare-bones 80 (diesel, of course) that they should sell in the US. Manual tranny, stock electric winch, ambulance doors (dual wipers), no cheesy running boards. Aftermarket is an aluminum roof rack and a huge (ham?) antenna on front (that you can't really see very well).

Soop checks out an 80 diesel. Note non-US ambulance doors (but lacks wipers). Detail of the locking hubs (part time 4wd) and the lousy running boards (just like the US version)
Mmmmm. Diesel. This is Steve's first choice of a new cruiser. Someday. This one also had a 5spd, but no pics of that.
