I didnt on mine but i wish I would have.It works but the track does rub on the protectors some.I see a little wear on the track right where the tunnel protectors are.Mine has the mono suspension though,so the warrior may have more room.

1 1/2" track
Found this post and you should remove the tunnel protectors. Figured you would have had that thing done already. JK. You must have gotten a lot done if your putting the track on.
"I did run into one problem with the 1.5" ripsaw. The tunnel protectors hit the track when it is spinning at high speed. After running it on the stand I noticed a small pile of black rubber shavings on the ground. I hope it will make a groove on its own so I don't have to remove the entire track and remove the tunnel protectors or groove the track. I also hope that I don't ratchet too badly so that I need to put in anti-ratchet drivers while keeping the track loose. I guess I will find out when the snow flies."

You need the protectors only if your running studs. No studs? Then take the protectors off. Let us know how she does in the deep stuff!

I have 1.5 intense installed but I used 8 tooth drivers. My track is nowhere near the tunnel protectors but I also have A Polaris Pro-x rear suspension so I am really no help to this thread... LOL

I am looking at doing the same thing with a 144 extension...Hartman's suggested an 8 tooth driver with the kit to avoid the tunnel protectors. I also wanted to add ice screws to the tops of the paddles
