Rob Muirhead

Whats up guys? My name is Robert Muirhead but everyone just calls me Rob. I am a 34 year old God fearing husband and father of 3 boys. My family comes first, and I do my very best to do the things my wife wants and needs, and to provide the things and knowledge that my children want and need. I am a Treating Engineer by day (which means I run a railroad tie treating facility) and a family man by night. I have loved cars since before I could drive, with The Fast and the Furious being one of my original inspirations. I became a “Jeep Guy” for the past ten or so years, owning and modifying them to my liking as time and money allowed. I ordered a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave from the factory and loved it; it had every option I wanted and it was a great base to start my newest build. After almost two years with it, I decided to completely change up the automotive part of my life and sell my “baby”.

My wife asked what I was going to replace it with and a 2017 WRX was the answer. I found it at a local, trusted used car dealership; took my Gladiator in and they offered me almost as much as I paid for it two years prior so the WRX came home with me! It had MAPerformance’s “Stage 2” package on it when I bought it and I’ve added to it as time and money allowed.

As soon as I bought the car I joined a few of the facebook groups for the car; some of them good, some not so much. Shortly after joining one of them Arlan messaged me and asked me if I’d be interested in joining the Jen Speed Solutions Team. I did a little investigating and decided that I did want to. I have since met some awesome people here and truly feel this is as much of a family as an online group can be!
