The mirror rule in New Hampshire
New Hampshire has its own take (N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 266:55): A mirror is required only on a closed motor vehicle, or one so constructed, equipped or loaded that the driver lacks a free, unobstructed view to the rear. No distance or outside-mirror requirement in this section.
“No person shall drive upon any way any closed motor vehicle, or motor vehicle so constructed, equipped, or loaded that the driver is prevented from having a constantly free and unobstructed view of the way immediately in the rear, unless there is attached to the vehicle a mirror”

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.

Every vehicle not equipped with proper fenders must have fender guards or flaps that effectively reduce throw, spray or splash from any wheel. Under RSA 266:8-b, missing fenders are also prima facie evidence a vehicle is unsafe. (N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 266:57)

Do you need doors at all?
Missing exterior panels, including doors, are prima facie evidence a vehicle is unsafe to operate, but the statute expressly exempts doors the manufacturer designed to be removable. Factory Wrangler/Gladiator doors are covered by that exemption. (N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 266:8-b, II(b))
RSA 266:8-b took effect May 18, 2026 (2026, 69:1). Under RSA 266:58-a, if aftermarket tint is applied to windows behind the driver, outside mirrors are required on both the left and right sides.
