How do you like the road manners without the front sway bar?

No sway bars at all actually, it's the BDS 4" long arm lift. Shockingly minimal body roll despite what you might think. I get more sidewall deflection while cornering running 14psi than I get body roll, even at our highway speeds (50mph) It's a reasonably light and well behaved rig 👌 (to me anyway...)

now prior to this kit I had worn out 2" rough cuntry coils from PO, and hoooo-boy did it ever have body roll 😅 and that was with the rear sway bar still in. I only ever had the front connected for a few weeks after buying it. whilst diagnosing a clunk I found out the front sway-bar link bushings had left the chat and the threaded ends were also seized to the sway bar side so it got tucked up out of the way for most of my ownership. being primarily an off-road rig used on FSR's and trails it wasn't worth my time to fix it.

So when installing the taller long arm lift I just opted to delete the whole sway-bar situation all-together.

Lots of Cornish miners emigrated to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the U.P.) to mine copper, and brought the pasty with them. Every time I get back to the north part of the mitten, I’ll ask at the party store “who makes the best pasty around here?” and grab a few for the freezer.

Yoopers (denizens of the U.P.) will tell you to eat it with ketchup, but I like ‘em with beef gravy.

This place is close, I’ve had their pasties and can confirm they are U.P. quality. And they will ship!

My favorite stop on that drive is the St. Ignace Truckstop Diner.

That Cornish Pasty looks like the Runza made here. It has a German/Russian heritage. There is a fast food chain called Runza and they sell them by the thousands at the college football game.

My wife makes a better version with cheese, much less salt, and a home made sweet bread recipe for the shell.

Here's the basic recipe.

Well, that explains the name of the regional restaurant chain then. I worked for building component manufacturer in Fremont about 11 years ago, put up one of those retail stores but had no clue to the meaning of the name. We don't have them on the right coast.
