Strut Tower Brace?

Why?? On a sports car, the shock tower is linked together via tower brace. Suspension is attached to the unibody.
On a body-on-frame SUV, the suspension is attached to the frame, not the body. To do this properly, you would have to connect the two points where the front suspension attaches to the frame.......which is UNDER the body. I do believe that the front frame of the LX and (GX/4runner) is heavily reinforced via crossmembers and subframe...both of these are a lot better than a toothpick-sized tower brace.
