I'm sure if you tried you could...but I think the more important question is "why would you want to?"

Sell it, the LB9, no matter how much port work is still a glorified boat anchor. I own several and have no problem saying that

Any particular reason you dont care for LTx stuff? It was a MAJOR improvement to GEN I technology and opened the doorway to GEN III, which as you can see was so successful it led to the discontinuation of the BBC
