What warranty do you really have on your tunnel? You think If you bend a tunnel your dealer or Polaris will warranty it? It's about like having your a-arms warrantied if they bend.
Good luck with that from any manufacture.
Not sure what this has to do with anything. But, yes i have had a tunnel covered under warranty before.

Back to the topic at hand. I wonder if today is the day that Polaris releases the new Chris Burandt signature series line of boxer shorts.
It was mentioned early in this thread that with the new running boards the advantage with them over Better Boards or Air Frames is you keep your factory warranty.
I just think the chances are slim of a tunnel being warrantied. IF you bend it, it is probably from abuse. A-arms won't be warrantied, maybe if a weld fails but highly unlikely that Polaris doesn't claim it just took and impact.
I've had a chassis replaced under warranty before; when the chassis/tunnel showed up at the dealer. I drove the four plus hours to get the sled to him, he had other commitments at the time so I traded all the components to the new one and 10-12 hours was driving back home.
It does happen!
To top it off Polaris never asked for the tweaked chassis so the dealer gave it back to me, I straightened it, and have a full mod hill climber built on it.
I put up the coolest of the new accessories so far in this thread

Burandt edition
Finding it kind of comical reading some of the negative comments about the backcountry edition accs. coming out. Seems like some people are a little to negative or maybe a little jealous that Polaris is actually listening to its customers. As far as Burandt I would probably buy his signature underwear if he promised it would make me a better rider.... anyway Thanks Snowest for a great forum. and hey.......... everybody needs a hero.

Yah, Just look at the coin that golfers will spend for a (insert whatever) that is marketed as making you play better.
My guess is if you have weak points b/c of after market boards, no warranty! Now if you install boards from Polaris and you have weak points that cause cracking..ect. Not talking about abusing the sled, as you are refering too.
So here's a perfect bad example for having two shovels. Sunday I was riding with a group and I didn't have my backpack with me. For whatever stupid reason it is in my garage. Anyway, I'm still riding a dragon and a buddy was along with his new 2012 Pro. I grabbed it to check it out and took it for a spin up a nice steep slope and right at the top made a mistake - the old saying "he who hesitates loses " applies here. I buried the Pro several hundred feet up a steep slope in not good avalanche conditions with no backpack AND no shovel on the borrowed sled. 45 minutes of frustration later one of the guys was able to get within about 200 feet of me and hike a shovel up. I put myself and alot of other people in danger over that one stupid omission. Two omissions actually when you consider no shovel on the sled either. The guy who owns it just moved here from Michigan and isn't used to our mountains and doesn't understand what he should be carrying yet.
One in the backpack, one on the sled.
My understanding is that the kid that died in Utah on Sunday was crossing at the base of a large avalanche chute. He was 4th across when the slide ran and he had no chance. A friend who was in on the recovery said that where they crossed was flat. It looked like a place out in the open that a group would have stopped to have lunch. So you never know what may happen.
Thank God my stupidity didn't get someone killed.
HV,
I don't carry a pack and here's why:
Two years ago I had back surgery that was darn near 100% successful. Prior to the surgery I thought my snowmobiling days were done. I limped around the house literally like a 90 year old man.
So now I consider myself very fortunate to be able to snowmobile at all and I don't want to re injure my back. Sure getting stuck and having to muscle the sled out is more stress on the back, but for the most part I want to minimize the risk.
I'm sorry if you think that's a lame excuse...
Ultimately that is your choice, if you and your fellow riders are comfortable with that risk then good. I for one am not comfortable risking my fellow riders lives by not carrying my Avy gear on my back. I for one would refuse to ride with you because it may cost me my life, in the right conditions. To each their own.

Sorry, but this doesnt make sense to me.......
You take part in a relatively strenuous, physically demanding, and at times dangerous activity like snowmachining but you wont wear a 5lb back pack to carry possibly life saving equipment on your person (where it is most safe and effective) because you are afraid that it is what will hurt your back?
The Klim back pack is actually very light with a shovel in it. My avalanche back pack is another story thought. That bugger is super heavy.
