From what I could tell, it seemed to me that the following was the same:
a) The suspension lift (they seemed all three to me to be the same)
b) The tyres (it seemed all to be All terrain)
c) The tyre pressure (at least the presenter confirmed this, although it would in theory be possible to cheat)
d) The same engines
e) The speed/momentum
f) The torque with which they were driven up die obstacles.
What was different:
The car with ARB lockers had a bulbar.
What did I miss?
Besides the fact that (and I agree), a suspension lift could have been just as effective in improving the car's capability.
This was most definitely an informercial and I do not think ARB would have gotten this without paying for it.
