What size (diameter) is your tach? 2" a-pillar pods are pretty common but most tachs are larger than that.

Autometer makes a 2 1/16 single pod for the tacoma and they make 2 5/8 single pods for some other trucks : http://hp.autometer.com/products/mounting_solutions/pillar_truck/pillar_truck.html

You might have to get one intended for a different vehicle with a similarly shaped a-pillar and do a little trimming or heat forming to make it fit. And you'll probably have to paint it.
