Does the off road app on the front LCD screen between the gauges work as a roll gauge? Because it shows all the angles of truck and stuff.
I will definitely start on the easy trails and build my way up until I feel like I've reached my limit.
Also I've seen in some rock crawling videos people lower their tire pressure but those were mainly harder trails. It is a necessity to drop the pressure?

I was talking to my bro and he said that level 1 and 2 trails aren't bad and you wouldnt have a prob.
I would drop your pressure some, grip the rocks better. But depends on what difficulty of trail.
Btw another prob you might run into, is that your gonna be top heavy...

If its like mine it just has a limited slip. Wheel with all the traction controls off.
And if anything you'd flip easier (if you go up anything super steep) or rake your truck down trees.

Yeah I'm thinking that as long as I take it from easy up an take my time I should be fine. What other things should I be careful of or any gear I should have along with me ?

Open front and most likely a ls rear check door sticker for axle code. Airing down increases your tire's foot print as to how much to air down depends on the load rage of your tire/truck weight. I have P rated tires and 20psi seems to work pretty well.
Gear wise. Basic recovery gear and a couple spare parts wouldn't hurt(ie. u joints and tres)
Just take it slow. Have Fun!
