The mirror rule in Utah
Yes. Utah (Utah Code § 41-6a-1627) requires two mirrors. With the doors (and their mirrors) off you're down to the interior rearview, so add a driver-side (left) mirror, and ideally both sides, before you drive.
“A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a mirror mounted on the left side 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.

Fenders and mud flaps
Mudguards/flaps behind the rearmost wheels are required on vehicles altered from original frame height (or otherwise altered so wheels may throw debris), heavy trucks and trailers, unless fenders/body already do the job; rear wheels not covered at the top must be covered. Separately, if wheel track is widened, the top 50% of tires must be covered by fenders or flexible extenders (§ 41-6a-1631(2)). (Utah Code § 41-6a-1633; § 41-6a-1631(2))
Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Utah 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.
Lifted Jeeps: § 41-6a-1633 (as amended eff. 10/1/2026) requires mudguards/flaps on vehicles altered from original frame height unless fenders/body already contain spray, and § 41-6a-1631(2) requires the top half of tires to be covered if wheel track is widened beyond OEM spec.
