I may be overthinking it but it looks like having that extra weld on that outer support would help prevent the door around the hinge pocket from flexing as much and the outer support from pulling away from the door when the hinge hit the end of its travel outward. I beleive the threads on mine are coarse also. I will have to go check it.
