How do you expect to quit being a noob if you wont try things that are outside your comfort level?

Worst case you replace the front fenders that are all bolt on and you unfold the rear and bolt the stock flares back on and no one ever knows.

Pull the wheels and check the brakes. Crawl under and look for oil leaks. Check the front steering and suspension for worn parts. All free things to do.
