This 3rd generation Pajero, the second one featured in this section and one of the many Generation-3 Pajeros in the club, is being featured as the Pajero Club Philippines – Pajero of the Month for April & May. Mind you, that this is not just any Gen-III, but one equipped with a 3.5 liter V6. I reckon the motto of the owner is: “There is no replacement for displacement” and this is strongly manifested here.
James is a Fire Volunteer, and believe us that he does use his Pajero when there's an emergency in the metropolis.
Upgrades do not stop there. Shock absorbers, air intake, exhaust, decals, nocturnal illumination, and external sonic safety equipment have all been replaced to enhance the safety and reliability of this piece of machinery.

On the exterior, what sets this Pajero apart are the black shiny wheels that offsets from the paint color of the body. Wheels are American Motor Sport 16 by 8 with 0 offset acquired from Auto Options Marketing, (where our members can avail of special discounts).

Now what really sets this vehicle apart in melodies, is it can pump out around three thousand (yes you read that right- 3,000) watts of Cerwin Vega power. The legendary Cerwin Vega Stroker series sub-woofers shakes the ground you step on while Cascade and Beyman give the rhythm and body in an excellent blend of aural delight albeit on a high decibel level. With all this equipment installed, there is no problem for any of the Pajero Club “Teddy Bears” in terms of space.

Finally what really sets this car apart from the rest is the man behind the wheel: Activities Head / Officer James “Psychomike” Dimaguila, soft spoken always smiling, but effective at what he does. The man behind the ride says that his Pajero has never let him down. All I say to that is that the one’s vehicle mirrors the man behind the wheel.
