Default Getting a Large Tool Box Out of the Back of a Toyota Tundra?

Aside from my blade difficulty just posted, I have another tricky
task. My son left me his Tundra for several years with me while he's
working outside the country. He left a large tool box in the back
that may weight 100 or more pounds. I'd like to get it out. It's on
its side and has caster wheels. The truck bed has a camper shell. I
can probably slide the box onto the bed, but getting it on the ground
is likely a real challenge. I don't think I can just put up some 2x6s
or plywood and slide it down. Any ideas?
Maybe removing tools would help, but since the trays are vertical,
that might be difficult.


I got a 400 lb fireplace insert into and out of my van using a couple 2x6's.

Slide the box to the back, with the end not quite 1/2 way out. Tip it onto the
boards which are on the bumper, and slide it down.

If the box is full, empty it and then remove it.

Or, just get a couple friends to help.


Good possibilities. I think I know two guys who could do it. Hadn't thought
of asking them.
