Mitsubishi Pajero Gen 1: The forgotten 1980's 4X4

[@johnny_w]

Here in the Netherlands, I bought one in august 1990, the last year of generation 1. A fourcylinder 2500 turbodiesel intercooler diesel engine, 3-doors metal top. Still driving it today. Total 115.000 kms.

[@yehawwww]

That’s Mitsubishi quality for you! Thanks for the comment I love the Netherlands!

[@johnny_w]

@@yehawwww Sure Mitsubishi has great quality ! I also own a generation 2 Pajero, which I habe bought new in 1999 . It has a 3500 V6 24 valve petrol engine, automatic gearbox, 5-doors. Total now 133.000 km. If I would buy a new car again in the future, it should have an electric or hydrogen engine. I am waiting for a good solution, for example when the solid state battery will be available. But at the moment, I am happy with my 2 Pajeros ! 😎 Cheers ! 🙋‍♂️

@@yehawwww I myself own a swb pajero mk1 daily driven.we find ample parts in Sri Lanka.strange Australia has a shortage on Pajero parts.

[@yehawwww]

We have a few, new parts are next to impossible to find, most mechanical parts are not too hard to come across, but nothing new, no jerry can holders and very very limited after marker items

Schowalter Turnpike

[@yehawwww]

I agree

[@Torsee]

I bought the first one in the State of Maine. No dealers. A employee of Mitsubishi, Boston MA, had one as an incentive at work. He sold it to me. I drove the wheels off it. Frame rot, and a blown head gasket. Spelled the end.

[@yehawwww]

They live a rough but much loved life ❤️

@@yehawwww I lived through a stupid adventure made by myself. I found an abandoned ski slope. I went up the downhill ski jump. All my body weight was on the seat back..not the seat… Nearly vertical..STUPID Target heart rate acquired!
