I just got a 2007 Tundra DC. I have a BB low profile toolbox that I took out of my old Chevy. I would like to put it in the Tundra but I cant figure out how to fasten it to the truck. In the Chevy it fastened with one bolt on each side on top of the gunwale. I cant get to the bottom side of the gunwale to put a bolt there.
Any advice?

try fastening it to the front tie downs with a "j" bolt through the back of the toolbox.

or you can just get some self taping screws and drill it in like I did...I mean I don't plan on getting rid of either my tool box or the truck for a LONG time...if ever...so I just drilled it in...and I did the exact same thing you did...I had a chevy before I got my tundra and took the tool box off the chevy and put it on the tundra...the only difference is that I have a 2005

I used self tapping screws and just went through the top of the rails on mine.

One word of caution about toolboxes....make sure NOTHING gets in the way of the locking mechanism. My golf bag strap got caught in ours and I had to pry the lid off which ruined the box. $250 down the toilet just like that.
