Doors can be very useful in urban combat, particularly when dealing with (barbed wire) obstacles as makeshift ramps and bridges. I have no idea about those tire/bucket combos (maybe for quick deployment of street checkpoints if you fill the buckets with sand). So, it may look goofy, but I think there may actually be reasonable functional considerations behind it.

Good luck accessing the engine under those tyre / bucket combinations.

To me, it looks as if they could be removed by one or two crew members with ease. Or do you know that they were glued to the surface, rather than being put on a hook?

I don't know how they are secured.

 

Presumably reasonably well or they'd just fall off and be run over.
