I'd recommend twin batteries, a block heater, winter tyres, and some good lighting
Depending on how you plan accommodation, reindeer skins, Coleman cookers and lanterns, and I know a man who can do air heaters for £300.00 - I built a tent heater 
Good idea to insulate your footwell too ! |

... And if you are going in a group, a European compatible CB
TBH Pumas need less mods than td5's, the heater is pretty good for driving. SteveS did some good write ups also on here. |

Have a Webasto Top C with continuous override. Insulated and added headlining. Have 4x Hella compact xenons up top so plenty of light. Twin batteries probably wont be possible in the conventional sense, but Ill take a spare or two with anderson jacks, another reason for keeping the electrical load low. Also retrofitted heated seats and windscreen. Onboard air with water seperator. Going to collect locking diffs tomorrow. Have a small concern about air lockers freezing hence the water seperator.
Just saw the CB post. Got a Grant II with liberty mic. Still waiting to fit a remote speaker though. Also sort out some suppression on the injectors as its a bit noisey. |

Sensible set of mods, looks like just the breather heater to go. You can worry yourself silly if this and that, basically it's a road trip, there's petrol stations every 30-40 miles, no need for extended tanks, diesel in Norway won't freeze. Lockers .. Not sure, I have Ashcroft LSDs fitted now but went with stock in 2013.
Ran on cooper discoverer winter compound, not MUDs or ATs, and took screw in studs but did not use them Buy a Norway road atlas on the Norwegian motorway services .. Cheaper than UK |

I have this CB http://www.nevadaradio.co.uk/cb/cb-radios/albrecht-ae-5890
You could rig up a VSR to you existing battery and auto charge other batteries, a 120amp VSR will do the job and can be bought for about £40 I changed my gearbox, transfer box and axle oils for fully synthetic and a 55-60% mix of antifreeze. I used a company in Maidenhead called plastnor, they supply euro plastic stacking boxes for all the kit, still have them now I took a few spares including cv joints, uj, wheel bearings, starter, alternator, serpent belt, grease shot, and oils. Silicon spray all your door rubbers too |

Did not use any spares but based kit on cold weather and how long it would take to get the part shipped to Norway
