Congrats on the new rig and welcome to the family. If this is truly your first Jeep I would recommend heading to Prarie City first to get the feel of 4h and 4l. It does may a big difference. Besides if you break something at least you are in the same county and have cell reception to call of assistance. Go with a crawl, walk, then run to 4 wheeling.
Best of luck.
