POLARIS SNOWMOBILE TUNNEL PROTECTORS. WHAT ARE THEY AND WHY DO YOU NEED THEM? 

congrats on the new purchase and thanks for following along!!!

no problem!! thanks for watching!

I would still recommend the 8 inch. It’s going to provide better steering. Not sure why they companies don’t give that option as they come factory with 8’s.

yes. any type of added traction to the track requires tunnel protectors!

i absolutely would with that set up

@@JESSEJAMES322 for sure. but my thought is why do the polaris tunnel protectors need to be so tall? they are at least an inch. if the theory is that the track will hit the protectors at the track windows. if the height of the track at that point is the same height as the top of the lugs then the studs stick up maybe 3/8 of an inch above the lugs. why do the tunnel protectors have to be an inch when a half in would do?

just to be safe. its under teh sled so its not hurting anything being longer/taller

should retorque them a few times a year. 99% of people installl them in a heated shop and or dealer installs them in a heated shop. when the track goes outside and its 10 degrees the track shrinks and they will come loose from time to time. smart to take a peak at them a few times a year

Yes! Will be there part of Saturday and most day Sunday! Are you going?

Yes Sir will be there Sunday! See you then@@JESSEJAMES322

136 (length) / 2.52 (pitch) = 54. It’s always length divided by pitch of track. Trail sleds are either 2.52 (XCR’s) and all others are 2.86

Thanks for the reply 🤘🏻

Anything with an ice ripper will have protectors yes

Recommend ice scratcher’s to keep the temp down

I have never used Ice scratchers so I’m not sure what works best. These sleds run very very cool and I personally don’t see a need for them

Fair Jesse - I assume you don’t run a 1.5 - 2” track either. My crossover comments are probably hitting a wall here.

i do not now but i used to run 1.75 and 1.5 year in and year out. I know the 2 inch does throw alot of snow out the back and also does not circulate. what ive ssen is the skidoo ice scratchers mounted on the polaris. seems to be the best option out there

7.5x18. Below is the link to the overview of the new trailer ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8APXKs3umgY.htmlsi=cBeYh1Uf2e4r49lG

Think you could get 4 146's in there? You guys going to be at the NH grass drags?@@JESSEJAMES322

146’s will be tight for sure. They do make a 22 that would for sure fit them. And yes I’ll be there part of Saturday and Sunday

talked the the owner of nitro and you can fit them

@@JESSEJAMES322I’ve done it a ton of times with an older style shorter V

ive done a ton with the newer sleds just havent had enough time with this trailer to really think about it but we'll for sure get 4 in here
