How bad do I need frame stiffeners?

as someone who plays around on the alpine loop, and knows the general area you're at, put em on! I assume you'll be doing what I do, and thats load the heep up with gear and beer for a few days, and go off crawling into the mountains and climbing the passes. Moab is also about 2.5 hours away from me...

That's it fallacist. I like trails like Cinnamon/Engineer loop, Crystal-Lead King Basin loop, and closer to home, trails like Middle St Vrain, things like that. Far from what I consider rock crawling where I can definitely see the need.

Realisitcally I wheel like that 4-5 times per year, so not a lot and I am trying to balance out the expense vs the benefit. I do plan on keeping the Xj for some time so perhaps it would be worth it.

Just 4-5 times a year can tweak your uniframe. They are the best thing to buy over anything else and bang for your buck it's there at the top of the list
 
I really don't see how this is a question.

If you plan on keeping your XJ a while, do it.

If you have a $300 beater that you are taking to the scrapyard after a year or two, don't worry about it.
