How's it as far as being stable? i had one I made from a old hitch and it was wobbly.
And it would bottom out on the trails.
I ended up scrapping the idea and selling the hitch lol

There has been very little rattle, Very stable, there is a small amount of movement left to right in the receiver but im going to shim it out.
The build was fairly simple. All that was needed was our bandsaw, welder, drill press, torch and a few C clamps. All in all i spend a total of 24 bucks, had to buy a locking hitch pin. If anyone wants any other pics or my initial drawings let me know.
