That would work but would put a lot of extra weight to one side and would need to be balanced out with a load in the bed.
2005+ Tacoma: is aux fuel tank opposite existing fuel tank possible?

Not necessarily. The extra weight would be sitting directly over the drive shaft so I can't imagine that it would be much of a difference balance wise.
I like the idea of an identical tank on the other side. It would be better balanced than stock, offer 21 gallons of addtional fuel and provided you used stock components I dont see any issues with smog at all. You are just duplicating what is already standard equipment. I think where you will run into problems is with "aftermarket" set-ups. Another added benefit is increased ground clearance by eliminating the exhaust crossover.
A muffler shop will be able to legally and safely alter the exhaust design. I can't think of a single issue making this plan not as effective as anything else other than it would be a bit pricey unless you could scavenge the parts from a wrecked tacoma.

Haha! You must be the one person in the world without the "Tacoma lean" from the totally unbalanced stock configuration...
