LANTERNMARK INDUSTRIES NEW OFF-ROAD TEST TRACK? Unfortunately no! But these sure caught our eye as a great potential off-road whoopties test course! Actually these are much closer together than the typical desert whoops. Anybody know or want to guess where these are located and what they are used for?

SPHERICAL ROD END RECEIVER DESIGN - CIRCA 1990 Also referred to as cinch clamps - here is one of our original hand drawn designs from 30 years ago, which evolved into our current line of light weight Spherical Rod End Receivers. In the early off-road racing era, these fabrication elements were conceived in order to eliminate rotation of the spherical rod ends in links and control arms where loosening of the typical jam nut occurred. Our cinch clamps are made from 4140 N chromoly and utilize stress reducing routed corner details for the lightest strength per weight and highest quality available. All of our fabrication elements are currently 15% off!

THE INDOMITABLE DAVE FARUGIA - CIRCA 2008 Tirelessly working his craft on the TAC-V JAMMA V-22 ITV - These hand built fenderwells were formed to mate perfectly with the 2 inch thick hydro-formed panels with insertable armor - We are lucky when we can get Dave in our shop!

9 PC NON-SPARKING PUNCH & HAMMER SET This set contains three brass pin punches, three brass taper punches, one straight brass drift & two non-sparking Copper Beryllium hammers. The brass punches and copper beryllium hammers are used when sparks from a steel punch could be dangerous or when striking a harder metal to prevent marking and damage to metal parts.

Gotta love a freshly organized scrap metal shelf! Getting the shop in order for your next project!

THE FIRST LANTERNMARK (LIGHT RACING) CAD WORKSTATION- CIRCA 1994 The first CAD software we used was Ashlar Vellum (3D wireframe) installed on an Apple Power Macintosh 8600/200. This early audio/visual capable computer could record voice over live video of what you had on-screen, and we would record design reviews while rolling around the 3D model on the computer. LR-24 was our first truck (3 Baldwin Trophy Trucks) designed on the computer rather than the drawing board. The im...age on bothscreens in the photo is from the LR-26 (Team MacPherson Big Mac Trophy Truck) CAD model. In those days, If memory serves me correctly, that Mac computer set-up was around $4500, that high quality laser printer (in the corner) was $5000 and the Mutoh Pen & Pencil capable plotter (left) for our full size prints was like $7000! Some things have actually gotten less expensive! See more

CAL POLY SLO SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS - CIRCA 1981 I remember years later Roger told us it was still one of his favorite wins ... I believe because he made it happen and made a huge impression on an underdog bunch of hardworking college kids who were overjoyed at the outcome and stamped forever with the impression of the experience. Jack Auld, Mario Santellan, Al Bodey, and Bryan Kudela (@lanternmarkindustries) all ended up working in the off-road space for Cal Wells ...(@calwells111) at Precision Preparation Inc (... and onward with many others. Rick Sturckow went on to become a pilot for the Marines, a top test pilot, and eventually flew 4 space shuttle missions, 2 as a Pilot and then 2 as the Commander. And some of you may recognize Alan Roach as the founder of Baja Designs (@bajadesignsofficial)... all from that era at Cal Poly ... to name a few. HAPPY CAMPERS to say the least! Fourth and final in a series ... check out the previous 3 posts for more info! See more

SHORT COURSE FUEL CELL? - CIRCA 1981 For the 1981 Score Riverside Off-Road World Championships we built a custom short course fuel cell for our Cal Poly Toyota Hilux that weighed much less than our regular desert race cell. In those days, everyone in the truck classes would simply run their desert trucks in the occasional short course races during the busy desert race season. Not many competitors went through the trouble that we did to make our truck lighter: notice also the aluminum rear bumper and the holes in a lot of the brackets ... not common at that time. The relatively heavy trophy in this photo was not there during the race! :) Third in a series ... check out the previous posts for more info, and stay tuned for more posts on this unique race effort!

LITTLE MAC SECRETS - CIRCA 1992 Did you know that there were 3 successive Team MacPherson Little Mac Trucks that combined to win 8 consecutive SCORE Class 7 4X4 championships from 1993 to 2000? The last of which not only won the championship in 2000, but also placed 8th overall at the BITD Nevada 2000! While the rules evolved to allow that last truck to have a coil-over 4 link in the rear with 27" of travel (Class 7 4X4!), even the earlier trucks had many tricks to get unprecedented travel #'s out of the rear leaf spring suspensions. Here is just one example of all the little things that added up to make them the fastest trucks in the class ...
