Are there any attachment points or is it even possible to attach a brush guard on the front like that?

Probably have to do some heavy mods to the front, my guess.

The roofrack will have to be shorter in the back to allow the tailgate to open. The snorkel will take a lot of modification to work and if it is an Si6 it will require one for each side.
It will be cool, but probably wishful thinking.

With the new Defender coming out, LR may attempt to revive a CT style adventure. It would play well into the overlander trend that has been successful in past years and present. Remember G4 Challenge in early 2000s, something like that. But, it’s LR, who are we kidding here.

To expensive for them given their current market attitude. Camel events cost in the several millions per year, and today would be exponentially more costly.
