Can you share the link for the antenna? How bad does it effect the signal if at all?

The stubby antennas definitely impact AM/FM reception. Size does matter, no matter what she tells you to your face.
I like my local radio and don’t mind the long antenna even though the shorter ones can look cool. You won’t miss it if you use sat radio or stream from you phone. You can usually get by with the stubbies while in town near the transmitters. My brother bought a stubby for the looks then had to switch back due to his routine not-so-close-to-town travels.

Thanks. Definitely excited! Looking back now the wait didn't seem too long. This will be my first Jeep so I hope I like it!! Lol.
It's an adjustment. I had two Wranglers back in the mid-90s. I enjoyed them, for sure, but hadn't driven a lot of different vehicles. The Gladiator is my return to a Jeep and the driving dynamic is very different from what I've grown used to. Not bad, just different.

Definitely confirm tire pressure and air down. Expect some different in handling/steering. And remember why you ordered it and no doubt you will love it.

The shorter antenna did make a big impact on my AM/FM reception. But like AggieJeep mentioned, I am using my Iheartradio app and XMradio to listen. I don't like that long antenna. I think it ruins the look.
In case you still wants it, below is the link to the antenna.

Thanks guys! I will definitely be getting the stubby antenna - looks real sharp, and I pretty much only stream from spotify on my phone nowadays anyway.

Sometimes I wonder how people have enough sense to get into and out of the bathroom safely. I read the reviews on the stubby antenna and every single one of the 1 start reviews complained about AM/FM reception. What in God's name do they thing removing a big ole long whip antenna and installing a 1.5 inch antenna is going to do to their reception? It takes all kinds to make a society work but sometimes I wonder what we could have down here if all the stupid people didn't exist.

No such thing as a stupid question.

Damn! I made this post last night, and just got an email in my spam filter about stubby antennas for jeeps from amazon.

They're listening! shit. I mean... no they're not...
