haha nope, the horn on my truck sucked before I changed the wheel, now, its horrible, there's only like one spot where I can push it and it'll work consistently, other than that I can push it down and not hear a thing. I had to clearance my steering column too so it wouldn't rub, and it still rubs lol did you have to do that?

When i first learned to drive my pickup offroad, i started off in 4L and just creeped around the ORV park for like an hour.
Going over small stuff and up some hills

I remember being terrified of off-camber situations and going up steep hills lol

I applaud you for taking this upon yourself. The first time I EVER drove was in an older j20 jeep with super low range, my dad took me out to the trails he knew best, and let me at it. Show him how YOU drive first, give him some pointers and make it personal, from there, put her in 4 and let him at it. I think the main point to get across to him his to just push in the clutch and the brake if he starts feeling uncomfortable. If he is like most 13 year old boys, he will put a lot of effort into this and have it down in no time. Id rather you teach him on an easy trail with out by standers rather than a stretch of road that "shouldnt" have any other traffic.
