The mirror rule in Georgia
Georgia's mirror law (O.C.G.A. § 40-8-72) 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.
“every motor vehicle which is so constructed or loaded as to obstruct the driver's view to the rear thereof from the driver's position 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”

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.

Metal protectors or flexible flaps on the rearmost wheels are required on buses, trucks, full trailers, semitrailers, and pole trailers, with some local-haul exceptions. Fenders, body construction, or enclosures that do the same job also satisfy the rule. No passenger-car fender section appears in Chapter 8. (O.C.G.A. § 40-8-75)

Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Georgia 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.
O.C.G.A. § 40-8-6 makes it a misdemeanor to alter the suspension of a private passenger motor vehicle more than two inches above or below the factory recommendation, or to drive one that has been altered that way. This matters for lifted Wranglers. O.C.G.A. § 40-8-6.1 separately regulates raised chassis trucks.
