I'm sticking to my original answer of 250-300 lbs for your Tacoma...

I'd start with three tubes (180-240lbs) and go from there. If you need more, get more. I had eight 70lb tubes and it wasn't enough for my circumstances (too wide a tire, too much hp/torque) and I still spun tires and needed 4wd excessively.
