The doors consider adding insulation in between the factory plastic liner and the plastic --- greatly improves sound / road noise as well as hold in the heat.
Likewise, add insulation to the step.
All insulation has to be wrapped in between plastic and sealed to prevent it from accumulating moisture.
Consider lifting seats and then adding new padding / insulation / etc. on floor.
Insulation, in sealed bags in dash really helps with noise.
