The mirror rule in Oregon
Oregon's mirror law (Or. Rev. Stat. § 815.235) 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.
“enable the driver to see any other vehicle approaching from not less than 200 feet in the rear on an unobstructed road”

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.

Fenders and mud flaps
Type III fenders or mudguards are required on each axle of every motor vehicle not otherwise listed (heavy trucks, trailers, buses). Operating without proper fenders or mudguards is an offense under ORS 815.185. (Or. Rev. Stat. §§ 815.182(1)(c), 815.185)
Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Oregon 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.
Oregon's fender rule matters more than doors for Jeeps: tires sticking out past the fenders or flares can violate ORS 815.180/815.185 standards. Under ORS 815.185(3), a citation is dismissed if fenders are fixed and proof is shown to the court.
