The SS II (Super Scout II) was built for sheer off-road enjoyment. Standard steel doors were eschewed in favor of Bronco Roadster-inspired fiberglass inserts and removable, soft-sided doors like a Jeep CJ. The fiberglass top was replaced by a simple, removable soft vinyl canopy on a light frame, and a roll bar was mounted behind the front seats. Outside, distinct ABS plastic inserts are fitted to the grille and tailgate along with a graphics applique package and white painted “wagon wheel” rims, with raised white letter off-road tires. Tough and basic, the Scout SS II proved very popular with off-road racing enthusiasts and was the truck of choice for a number of champion National Off-Road Racing Association competitors.
