Never heard of them. The website is new for 2022. They're in Georgia. It appears that for about $85–100k you get a completely rebuilt vehicle, down to every nut and bolt it seems. Diesels too.

Saw an Elite FJ200 this past weekend on the trails around Ouray. Looked well equipped including Elite graphics.
Looks like a lot of south American cruisers.
I would stay away from Elite Landcruisers. I see a lot of their restorations at mechanic shops. They look pretty but seem to have issues.
Check out: Land Cruiser shop in Idaho they do some awesome work. See them fixing an elite cruiser build in the photo

This cruiser was wrecked by the new owner on the first day of ownership before they even got tags. It was an icy bridge on way home through Texas to California on this HJ75 Troopy. The owners insurance would not pay full value since he had not asked for agreed value policy for full restored value before he took delivery. It has nothing to due with Elite Land Cruisers quality of work.

Im dealing with a full resto from elite… why theres an alternator that shows up as a nissan part and jimmy rigged tape to make plugs line up. Totally unelite. Alternator goes bad after 500 miles. Electronics like wipers and widows and radio all fail unexpectedly. Im gonna have to do a few more modifications to right some of these wrongs. Bad bad bad. Now there is also so much that is amazing about the truck but jimmy rigging alternators is just not cool.
They have tons of issues. s***ty aftermarket parts and not well put together. He has all the work done in Costa Rica then brings them into the US. Buyer be ware for real. PM if anyone needs more details

Tons of s****y choices. I haven’t event gotten through it yet but its some serious bad news.
Moving forward…
Yea moving forward here too unfortunately. One of many issues is the clutch. Just replaced the Clutch Release Cylinder....the one Todd used had no spring or piston and cap assy! Total BS. Photo documented. Didn't fix the clutch problem so expecting the Master Cylinder to messed up as well.
inexcusable. I was even told the clutch was fine and all rebuilt, but that he would check it. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Wow. That's insane. New slave cylinders are readily available from Toyota.

Yepp and official remanufactured alternators etc etc. Geez a nissan part and underpowered at that. The friggin corner rubber front bumper just falls off only to reveal tons of dried up glue that finally gave up. Its like all the pig’s lipstick is finally wearing off. Crazy
Omg! I had the fender flares glued on too! In fact they used a wooden door handle!
mismatched crews….it is like they used what ever they had laying around…..sad thing is all they needed were the correct bolts and everything is back to gather mostly despite only a few broken clips
