Whats up guys. Just picked up an explorer as project/winter truck. Found it in westerly for $650. Needs front brakes and a cat. Its a 98 XLT Sohc. Its got hi miles but runs perfect. So far ive washed, buffed, and waxed it. I still need to do the interior and some small exterior stuff. Eventually I would love to put a dual exhaust and intake on it to get some sound. Im sure ill think of other stuff as well. Here are some pics.

Welcome to this forum! It's a nice color. You might be able to find different seats in a junkyard. Seat covers are another option.
