The mirror rule in Alaska
Yes. Alaska (13 AAC 04.220) requires an outside mirror on the driver's side. A Wrangler's or Gladiator's factory mirrors are bolted to the doors, so pulling the doors takes them off too. Bolt a hinge or A-pillar mirror on before you drive.

Put your mirrors back
Your factory side mirrors ride on the doors. These mount to the hinges or the A-pillar so they stay when the doors don't. Every link goes to Amazon.

Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Alaska statute that requires doors on a passenger vehicle or makes removing them an offense. The rules that matter are the equipment rules: mirrors first, then fenders and lighting.
Alaska is one of the few states that requires a left-side mirror on every vehicle (13 AAC 04.220(a)), so a doors-off Wrangler/Gladiator needs a hinge- or windshield-mounted driver mirror. Also, 13 AAC 04.227(b) prohibits driving with 'fenders, bumpers or other equipment removed, and which may endanger persons or other objects.'
