Looks like a plumbing junkyard, how'd they manage to get all that ...err... stuff in there?

Geez, and we trust our lives to a rat's nest like that?!

And somebody had to design and draw plans for it all.

It was actually all very neatly installed, but then the folded the gear up.

Getting it all in their was easy there is plenty of room the bigger question is what is it all do and used for??? and is that really the on off switch next to the light or is it burried someplace???

I'm guessing they routed all the lines through the wheel wells for easy maintenance. Missing the issue of wheels kicking up occasional debris or shedding rubber.
