@gilmorneau lol duly noted!
Yes I understand I am leaving out plenty of specifics, Most of those questions have been answered on travel forums, but connecting the travel questions with the importing questions is where so need to bridge the gap.
I would fully register the car in Costa Rica in my name, Costa Rican plates, name matching passport on bill of sale and Costa Rican title/registration. This will allow me to cross borders with a temporary visa, lots of homework and paperwork yes.
As far as altering the vehicle, Good to know. I will have to look into qualifications on a utility truck. If I end up with a 40/43 it shouldn’t be an issue. I have yet to find a 45 with the original bed.
Certainly avoiding any clapped out farm trucks with 40 year old tires and chrome hubcaps. Like I said easier said than done and it will be months (if not years) of looking for the right truck.
I appreciate all the help. I have an overly optimistic outlook on this whole plan, possibly naive at times, but it’s the only way to make it all happen. If I didnt think this was possible I surely would be right!
