Default reinforced the hitch, your thoughts please

I made a dirt bike carrier last weeks:

and there was concern regarding the hitch/receiver set up. I added a few
more enhancements to make it stronger. This supports a 40lb rack with a
215lb motorcycle strapped to it. The tongue extends about 15" from the jeep.
Here's a detailed pic of the hitch:

Wayne Cook, what are your thoughts?

thanks folks,

walt
