i have regularly had an 'undisguised' spare back tyre going across land borders in latin america (incl. usa-mexico at douglas,az-agua prieta) and had no problem at all.
i have found latin american land borders to be very easy. just have patience, show respect, and in central america invest 1 or 2 bucks in a 'tramitador' (helper).
nowhere is it necessary to offer/pay a bribe to a customs official.
enjoy
