What to do with a '93 Explorer XLT?

[BonusBobo 10+ year member]

It's got a 4.0L V6 engine, somewhere around 200 hp I believe. EVERYTHING is stock. What can I do to engine/interior/exterior? A few concerns: 1)my leather seats are cracked and shitty 2) my dad pays for maintenance, so I won't buy engine mods that will cause my car any other problems and 3) pherdunkadunkdunk

Engine - Performance wise...K&N Filter, Airaid Intake, Poweaid Throttle Body Spacer, Supercharger, Headers/Exhaust...etc...For looks - Chrome dress up kit

Exterior - Shaved door handles, billet grille, new rims/tires - 20's or bigger. Suspension - 2/4" drop, airbags...lay frame baby!

Interior - Billet steering wheel, new seats(Katzkin Leather!!), billet door sills, billet steering wheel, billet rear view mirrior...etc.

There is a lot you can do to an Explorer.

what's katzkin leather? is it cool stuff? does it cost a lot to buy and install? because, by the way, I odn't know how to install any of these things.

Well if ya dont know how to install anything, be prepared to fork out a lot of cash for labour lol. Glad I have the skills, tools, and a workplace to do all of my custom's.

Katzkin leather is very expensive. A company that specializes in leather seating. It's very cool stuff...I personally like it.

yeah, I happen to like Explorers and think Blazers and GM equivalents are ugly. Of course, I'm not bashing, only stating my opinion. But thank you for your suggestion. (?)
