The mirror rule in Missouri
Missouri's mirror law (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 307.170) 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.
“All motor vehicles which are so constructed or loaded that the operator cannot see the road behind such vehicle by looking back or around the side of such vehicle shall be equipped with a 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 Missouri 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.
