We ended up getting out of Asylum early enough to hit one more trail. You'll notice I downgraded the trail rating on Upper Firebird. There has been a lot of traffic on this trail and as you can see in the first picture it's getting flattened out.

Although there is still some big holes here and there.
The trail claimed a u-joint early on, I believe this was a Dana 44.
Shane and everyone behind him bailed out at the first exit to try and limp the broken Jeep back to the main road. Larry, myself and Erik ran another section just past the old exit, it consists of a couple small waterfalls. Despite being small waterfalls they have claimed a couple Dana 60's.
