The mirror rule in Idaho
Idaho's mirror law (Idaho Code § 49-940) 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 motor vehicle shall be equipped with a mirror so located as to reflect to the operator a view of the highway for a distance of at least two hundred (200) feet to the rear of the 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.

All motor vehicles, not just trucks, must have fenders or covers (flaps or splash aprons count) over and behind the wheels. For cars and other non-truck vehicles, the covers must extend to no more than 20 inches above the road unless the vehicle has a factory-built bumper fastened directly to the frame. (Idaho Code § 49-949)

Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Idaho 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 fender rule in Idaho Code § 49-949 matters for Jeeps with flat or trimmed fenders and wide or lifted tires. Idaho also regulates bumper height (§ 49-966) and road-clearance modifications (§ 49-965).
