Not trying to be critical, but how are you going to put the pin in the hitch receiver with it recessed that far?

I'll have to reach up from the bottom. I actually might need to drill an extra pin hole as well since there is some discrepancy in hitch pin locations

Looking good! You'll probably want to add another diagonal support if you want the ends to be able to support a jack.

Turned out very nice.
You've almost motivated me to finish up mine, which is kind of similar to yours.

Is this the appropriate time to say "Schwing!"?
