The mirror rule in Arizona
Arizona's mirror law (Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 28-956) only kicks in when you can't see the road behind you, by looking back or through the interior mirror. A doorless Jeep with a clear back window usually doesn't trigger it. Load the cargo area, run a trailer, or zip on a soft-top window you can't see through and it does. Most doors-off drivers add side mirrors anyway, because the factory ones leave with the doors.
“A motor vehicle that is constructed or loaded in a manner that obstructs the driver's view to the rear of the vehicle from the driver's position shall be equipped with two mirrors”

STAY STREET-LEGAL
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.

Rear fender splash guards are required on trucks, trailers, semitrailers and buses. Pickups with a GVWR of 10,000 lb or less are exempt unless they have been modified to raise the center of gravity. We found no passenger-car fender requirement in the equipment article. (Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 28-958.01)

Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Arizona 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.
The splash-guard exemption for light pickups does not apply if the pickup has been modified from its original bumper height to raise the center of gravity (A.R.S. § 28-958.01(C)(1)). This matters for lifted Gladiators.
