You first remove the crome ring around the shifter, it lifts up using a screw driver or other small pry tool.

"the little box where the tire jack is kept? is there anything sitting under that that i would need to move or be aware of? i was wondering if i could cut that bottom out and make it bigger to hold more stuff?"

It's the cross air duct for the rear HVAC.

When I removed my 3rd row seat and built the ''false floor'' in the back, I considered removing the OEM jack storage. I decided to leave it alone because of the duct work.

how can i take the shift handle off? i was looking at getting the jeep t-handle to replace it? does it twist off or something?

Yes. It was hard to do the first time. Grab the little chrome ring just below the knob and it turns one way or another. It is pretty tight , just try it back and forth. Once it screws loose the knob just comes right off.
