The boot over the 4x4 shifter on my 04.5 is held in place with a kind of spring on one end, you just pull up on it to remove. If you are wanting to remove the cup holder assembly there is a screw under the 4x4 shifter boot and the far right cup holder rubber mat, and I think the other one is under the rubber mat on the far left forward compartment, But mine is the six speed,not sure if it is the same for auto.

I would like to get this loose so I can remove it I want to install a custom gauge pod

Ok, pop the cap off the top of the shifter knob, underneath is a nut (12mm i think) once you take the nut off the knob itself will screw off. the boot itself (not the plastic housing) should be held in place with a spring clip. You should be able to put something underneath the edge of the boot and pop it off. ( thats the way mine is) Hope this helps

Not positive but I think the plastic trim just pops off like the dash panels do... held in with spring clips.

Is the black flexy rubber part just clipped into the gray plastic? I have the dash knob for my transfer case, but my shifter has a similar looking thing and it just picks up with a little tug.

The nut on the 4x4 shift knob is a 15mm. The whole boot and plastic bezel comes up. Be careful as one end has the spring clip and the other end has a hook. I have bent the hook but it straightens back. Sorry but I forget which end has the hook. The above picture doesn't have the tray like my 2007, 5.9, G56 has. On trucks with a tray, there IS a bolt under the 4x4 boot that you have to undo to remove the tray, 4 bolts in total with 8mm heads. 5/16" socket is the same size as 8mm.
