Toolbox removal?

[graves96z71]

Does anyone know how to remove the toolbox under the seat in an ext. cab? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The stud that the jack slips over has to be removed. You'll see it has a very small hex head at the top. However it's also screwed into the cab floor with thread locker so sometimes they're a real SOB to remove; some come right out and others I've had to lock vise grips onto the stud and turn it out. If I recall there's another regular bolt or a couple small screws, can't remember for sure but those are easy if present - it's the stud that sucks.

I've took 2 of those out to Mount my sub boxes under and I just rip the plastic part into pieces, and I take one of those air grinders with a like 5ish" cutting blade and cut the stud off at the base. But always put towels down so you don't burn the carpet

That's seems like overkill when you can just turn it out with vice grips imo

My cab was sorta rusty in the particular spot at the time and trying to twist it pretty much made my cab bent right there, so when it came to me doing it a second time I didn't mess around plus it takes a good 5 minutes

Ah I gotcha. Texas trucks don't deal with that so that makes sense haha

Dang your lucky, in nebraska they rust pretty easy.
