Did you do the diff pegging yourself or buy a pre done diff casing?
Was the diff and pegging set up correctly.
Or has the pegging actually worked, Kept them in constant mesh and ripped the teeth off. Hard to say really. (If that was a standard crown wheel and pinion I guess that wouldn't be to hard to do)

Learn to drive?
In 40 years of Landrovering, I have never broken a diff or half shaft.

looking at the picture of your truck its not surprising 
something will have to give ,half shafts may be cheaper

Lets get something straight....I know nothing....
but, would a few rubber doughnuts in the drive train such as there is on the Discovery series one be helpful to reduce the shock loading you seem to be suffering from....chances are you'll get through a few but they are a cheaper option than a diff rebuild and in theory a quick field change!

Trewey was right, to drive that without smashing the drive train you're going to have to learn how to drive softly no matter what else you do to beef things up

Wheres the truck? Looks like a Land rover to me!
LR drive train just isn't designed to cope with tractor wheels, you will have to learn to be very light footed if you don't want to break that all the time. Especially on hard surfaces, minimal throttle at all times.

It says quite a lot that the single most useful post was dismissed out of hand

Doubt it in my case, thirty years farm and forestry work, much of it in very severe conditions. And I have never broken a diff or a half shaft either.
Strange to think that breaking your vehicle regularly is some kind of measure of being a good driver, I would think quite the opposite!

Is a right of passage I have blown my diff. I am 1 tough MOFO. Those that have not are wussy's, and do not deserve to drive a 4x4

Up to them if that is what they want to do!
Personally I prefer not to pay the large bills, and to have my vehicle available for use and earning when I want it
