Looks kind thin for sch 40

What looks thin?
2" schedule 40 has a 3/16" or .1875 sidewall. Trust me, this stuff is not thin. I imagine each side will weigh in at about 65 lbs or so.

This pic is the main 2" bar with an od of 2.375". The hoops are 1.75" or about 1.9" od. The spanners are 1.25" or 1.66" od.
