Advice and guidance needed

Hey Taco fam, I hope all are staying awesome and chill, I need advice and ideas. I have 2015 Taco access cab with a 2.7L, base model. No backseats, it's just a storage. I wanna beef it up a bit, from the way it looks to the way it drives. It's a 2.7L I know I can't get much out of it without getting serious serious. I'm not trying to do serious. I have no idea where to start. Engine? Suspension? Wheels and tires? Exhaust system? So far I got afe intake. That's it. Lol. I was thinking of getting the afe exhaust but if anyone can recommend something better I'm all ears. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. I've attached a pic so you guys can see what I'm working with.
