I did not want to say anything but it is to long for your application which is an easy fix, and looking at the welds in the pics I think there was a bunch of surface welding happening there by the way the welds are pooled/piled so thick. If you use it you may want to stress test it before you load it out. Take a 5lb sledge to some of the corners and the mounting point welds and give them a good whack.
Also need to say the pipe used is well worth having someone rework the welds and shortening it up some.
Yeah, those welds were just wrong. Lots of grinder time ahead to thin those down, and do a good weld.
Back in the '80s, I had to re-repair the rear of a box trailer that had been wire-welded.
It had a pretty little bead that was barely stuck on. I knocked most of it off easily with a hammer and chisel.

Well horse crap, I was thinking I was getting a good to go system. Still happy with it, paid 125 for it, cheaper than anything compairable on offroad websites, and alot better than walmart/amazon baskets in the same price range. Ohh well, will try and test ot and try to find an aluminum welder in my area.
This. I would cut it off with a sawzall to make it shorter. It is all round tubing, so I would angle the front back and rattle can it black.
New sub 40$ project coming soon. I do alot of trails on lake eufaula in wooded/brush areas. This should help.
