Trying to date what year this Muirwoods is

Checking if anyone's familiar at a glance? Can scour for serial # later or take closeup pics of components if helpful.

Someone abandoned it at a self storage facility I service & the manager was happy to get it off their property.

Dolled it up with some bags & took it bikepacking (swyp). Definitely not the lightest bike & could use some wider tires, but also seems not the worse for a freebee.

Finally got around to those Dorman heater hoses

Surprisingly, the original assemblies came off without incident. Getting the new hoses on, however... oh boy. Had to use locking pliers on the hose clamps so I could focus on generating enough leverage to get the new hoses on. I found the stock clamp holders mostly too bulky to fit where they had to go & also didn't hold the clamps open quite wide enough.
