The mirror rule in Florida
Florida's mirror law (Fla. Stat. § 316.294) 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.
“Every vehicle, operated singly or when towing any other vehicle, shall be equipped with a mirror so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of the motor vehicle.”

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 Florida 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.
Under Fla. Stat. § 316.2954, if the rear window is nontransparent (for example, covered or blacked out), the vehicle must have side mirrors on both sides that meet § 316.294. A doors-off Jeep with a soft-top rear window rolled down or covered, or with heavy rear tint, could fall under this.
