Modding an oldish 90

I'm planning to make a few modifications to my 1987 ex-RAF 90, so I'm
looking for a few tips to make sure... well, to make sure that it'll
start with all this stuff bolted on.

At the moment it's all stock, right down to the NATO light switch. It's
got a new battery, since the old one kept discharging. But everything
else (well, OK, it's got a new seat from Exmoor Trim as well) is stock.

Basically what I want to add is the following, roughly in order of
preference:
Worklight at the back, either one or two
Two 12V lighter sockets for internal gadgetry
Cabin heater, engine heater
Radio/CD Changer
Extra lights, front; either bumper-level or roof-mounted (which is
best?)
PMR or other comm radio
PA system
Poss. 220V power output?

What's the best way of doing this, and will I need to make any
modifications to handle the increased power load? I saw something in
LRO about mounting an extra battery for something, could that be worth
it?

What components would be recommended for this lot, and what would be
the best (not to mention cheapest) way of doing it?

Oh, and where can I get good but cheap folding steps to put outside the
front doors?

Cheers!

Leisure battery, split charger, check.

Eagerly awaiting the "more later"! Thanks!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, that'll come in handy!

A few questions:

Are there any dual CB/PMR radios that could work, or would I need one
of each? Most of the time I use PMR, y'see.
I was planning to have the local smithy build me a cubby box to my
specs; partly because the previous owner wired in three antennae for
CB, so I need space for the wires, and partly because I want to be able
to have the whole lot in a self-contained unit that I can remove if I'm
going to be parking somewhere insecure, for instance. That unit will
contain the stereo, the CD changer, the speakers, the radio, the PA...
Maybe an additional lighter socket, a holder for my mobile, and I
suppose I have to have mug holders on it... Any suggestions?

Any suggestions as to makes and models of the various bits mentioned?

Many thanks!

Cheers, that's a good start. Might go with a PMR charger instead of a
fixed unit.

By the way, I'm planning to take my Landy to an airsoft game this
summer, kitted out as an MP vehicle (I've checked with the local police
to make sure it's all legal).

Where can I get a blue rotating beacon and a decent-sound siren? And
how can I attach the beacon temporarily without drilling and bolting
and things? Have a garage nearby specialising in Land Rovers, so I'll
get them to do it if it's complicated... the main thing is I need to be
able to remove the beacon when not at games.

No need to rivet the plate. The magnetism will go through the
aluminium sheet.
