The mirror rule in Arkansas
Arkansas's mirror law (Ark. Code Ann. § 27-37-305) asks for a mirror that shows the road behind you; it doesn't specifically demand a side mirror. A clear interior rearview can meet that as written. Stack gear in the back, fog up a soft-top window, or tow something and you'll want outside mirrors. Most doors-off drivers run them anyway, because a Jeep's factory side mirrors leave with the doors.
“(a) Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a rearview mirror.”

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 Arkansas statute requiring doors, but we couldn't rule one out from the official code either. The equipment rules (mirrors first) are what usually draw a stop.
