It's a common expression amongst flat fender enthusiasts.

Prior to the 1987 model year, jeeps had big ole round headlights, and in 87 they changed them to the square headlights, which also brought alot of 'refinement' to the jeep, commonly and generally disdained by the true jeepster as not as rugged and/or off-road capable.

In fact, the expression grew such that Chrysler returned to round headlights (in 97 with the TJ I think), some believe, almost exclusively to make it a non-issue.

Here's an interesting look at jeep history
