Well I have started on my gauge panel in my 05 taco. I have not yet hooked or wired anything in yet but this is a good start. What do you think. http://community.webshots.com/user/jays99taco

Trans temp, and oil pressure. I have not gotten the nerve to put a hole in the trans pan. I wanted to try to see if I could tap the outlet hose going to the trans cooler but I have not gotten under the truck to see what other options I have. The oil pressure should be easy, there is a hose that feeds the filter so I could just spice into that or if I can find and plugs in the block like the 3.4's had.
What order do you think the gauges should go?

I dont think the order really matters, maybe put oil pressure and trans temp. where they will be most visible from the drivers seat, sicne it looks like the shifter may slightly cover the guages.
Good luck with getting them all hooked up, i wouldnt want to drill a hole in my oilpan either if i had a brand new 05.
