"I am interested in early start what is duration time roughly?"
A couple hours, probably. I can't recall quite how long it took last time. Kingston + Yankee Hill took us 5 or 6 hours total, including getting lost in Alice for a while.

Im a maybe. Just had a little daughter born at 33 weeks. Need to get out of the NICU this weekend with the wife before the baby comes home.
Her first time offroad in the jeep since it was lifted.
Congratulations! Hope she is well!

Looks like we have a lot of "maybe" folks for this weekend. If all the maybe people show up, we probably want to break into a couple groups, at least to pass the long shelf road section leading up to James Peak Lake trail head. Let's see how the RSVP list changes by Friday and make a plan.
I am now a maybe, took the Jeep down to check out slaughterhouse gulch and it wouldn’t shift into 4w at the bottom of the hill and had to turn around. If I can get it fixed before Saturday I am definitely in.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. This isn't a hard trail, but you'll want 4wd / 4 low for it. Hopefully you will find an easy fix
You can send one person across the shelf first to stop vehicles from starting the other side. For anyone who hasn't done this it's not a typical scary shelf; it's on a slope not a cliff and it's been worn down over the years so it has a small "lip" in many places and really is no big deal.

Can’t get Jeep in until Monday (I was rolling when trying to shift but I feel that the clip is the issue)
Sounds like you need to tag up with your Lakewood neighbor "ColoJeeper" and barter for a spare clip :-)
Are they easy to install? If so maybe I will just buy some and do it myself....

I don't have a JK, so don't actually know anything about that clip. Based on what others said, I suspect it's pretty simple to change out.

Anyone want to teach a man to fish that likes beer?.....😁
YouTube is a good idea! But if someone has done this before the beer offer stands!
