Do we have any land use or entitlement attorneys on the forum that could look into this?

Lion's back (the fin itself) is BLM land and was not sold. What was purchased was the private land at the base - the campground and entrance to LB.
Oh, and as for the original question
- I carry spare tie-rods and an extra half shaft. Another good thing to carry is spare fluids - oil, ATF, brake, etc.

well...in effect LB might as well of been sold...the entire entrance to it is blocked off so getting to LB isn't possible. It's still a damn shame. And that's the first I have heard of that...JP never mentioned that the entrance was the only thing sold, and the folks at pirate all said that LB was sold...either way it's still off limits now.

Sewie's correct, I was in Moab in 07 and indeed the property at the base of LB was purchased by some weenie that closed for the wheelers.
Having said that, there's still plenty of misery, I mean trails at Moab for the hardcore. Lion's Back isn't the only hogback in the area but was certainly one of the most famous and there's no way I'd try that ridge. Once and if you get up it, you've got a very small area to turn around as the top is almost as narrow as the trip down. Once you go up you gotta come down, I honestly don't know which would give me more of a pucker factor.
