Yeah, you can buy front stiffners (steering box etc get reinforced) mid body stiffners (most common) and rear stiffners (along with sill plate reinforcement aka nutstrips).

All available off the shelf from a few different places. The mid body stiffners are made by a TON of companies and each have their own benefits and drawbacks.

Look up Liquid Iron in the vendors section, they have a set for the front subframe of our Xjs.

thanx for the replies using the search was a big help i was thinking more like a complete frame the unibody tubes fit into not just in certain spots

Yes people have done things like that, but it is just not really necessary to do more than the typical stiffeners, unless you are running monster tires and going to wail on it. Check out pirate for some builds along those lines: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=83
