The mirror rule in Nebraska
Nebraska's mirror law (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,254) 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.
“so constructed or loaded as to prevent the driver from obtaining a view of the highway to the rear by looking backward from the driver's position unless such vehicle is equipped with ... (i) A right-side and a left-side outside 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 Nebraska 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.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,253 separately requires every truck to have a rearview mirror; a Gladiator may be treated as a truck.
