Yes and no. The author of that post was referencing an older version of the inverter diagram for the Tacoma, so some of the connections are different. In addition, he was describing how to install the factory inverter "from scratch."
I've cross correlated the wiring diagrams, and I believe the only two wires you need to worry about are the NSW wire (black wire leaving the inverter) and the SPD wire (light blue wire leaving the inverter).
The NSW wire connects to the Park/Neutral position switch. This switch provides a ground when the transmission is in the park or neutral postion, and enables the 400W setting on the inverter. Grounding the NSW wire should enable the 400W funcion full time. (Cap the end coming from the park sensor, and ground the end going to the inverter.)
The SPD wire connects to the speed sensor. The author of the post on Tacoma World said to "leave disconnected and capped", so you would just need to snip and cap this wire.
Before cutting any wires, you might want to use a circuit tester to confirm the functions of the wires you intend to cut (i.e., verify the correct wire "switches to ground" when the shifter is in the Park or Neutral position.)
Hope this helps.
