So what did you do to your Disco today?

Yeah I think I'm kinda over the whole drive it like you stole it thing, too. As I (slowly)build this '95 I'm pretty sure I don't want any body damage on it. I know some little stuff is inevitable but I don't want it looking like my current trail rig. I'm even considering dropping a tire size from 315/75/16 to 255/85/16.
But when it was your daily driver with 3 1/2 hour drive home and still had monthly payments on it, you tend to wheel it a little less aggressively.
That was my last rig. 01 Xterra on 35's, locked, t-case geared, skids, sliders, bumpers, etc.. Already had a Dana 44 built for the SAS before the motor popped and wasn't worth fixing since everything else was failing.
My current Disco I, I'd wheel the **** out of it if I trusted it to actually make it to Rausch Creek and back. :P

Amen!!! I read about some of these guys that are all proud because they took their truck(usually D90 guys) on a 300 round trip "adventure" and I laugh. They don't exactly have a lot of faith in their rigs.
I drove my truck to Moab and back for nearly 3000 miles of driving. Taken it on a 1500 mile round trip to Kentucky. 1000 miles round trip to Michigan's UP. And countless 4-600 mile round trip jaunts to WI and Indiana.
SUCK IT UP, SALLIES!!!!

No way I trust my rover anywhere near how much I trusted the Xterra.
Out of all of those trips, only had to tow it back home once!
ETA: and that was after a NJ pine barrens trip, flooding the truck to the top of the clutch pedal, and cooking the alternator when spares weren't available.
My disco failed to start a few times on my daily commute. LOL
