My method to remove the shell is to stand (knees bent) in the bed facing the t/g bent at the waist with my shoulders a few inches from the rear edge of the shell. I then lift the shell off the bedrails with my legs, spin 180 degrees in place, step to the driver's side to clear the spare tire, then step backward off the t/g onto a sturdy box so the shell straddles the driver's bedrail. Once on the ground, as I stand up straight, I allow the shell to slide down until its rear edge rests on my shoulders. Holding the bottom rear corners allows full control while walking to where I can lean it against a wall or fence.
