Long trip
Recently bought a 2003 disco 2. 98k miles on it. P/o recently replaced head gaskets and intake manifold gaskets. I've changed tires, coils, plugs, wires, oil, o2 sensors, front driveshaft (just to be safe), thinking about driving it home from Virginia to Alabama (700+ miles) any recommendations as to what else I should check/ replace. Or if I should even drive it that far. It's not my only vehicle.

Just drive it, it is 15+ years old stuff may happen, but if you worry about it constantly you will never go anywhere.
Just follow the military's simple rules when you stop for more than a few minutes or fuel up :
I owned mine for 3 weeks and went on a 600 mile of road trip covering 2 days. Just covered that check list when I fueled up, in the evening after the Disco had sat for an hour and each morning before heading out.
Never had an issue
Just follow the military's simple rules when you stop for more than a few minutes or fuel up :
- Pop the hood, do a quick visual inspection
- Check your oil and coolant levels
- Look at the belt
- Take look underneath for fluid drips - other than AC run off
- Take a look at your tires and lug nuts - are all the lug nuts there
- You have have been on gravel add checking your battery connections, intake hose clamps
