True FX4?

I've had my 2003 F-150 Supercrew FX4 since January, and I was just curious how you can tell if it's a true FX4? I'm missing my front skid plate, and to tell you the truth I can't tell a difference under the truck from a regular 4x4 Ford. I do have the Rancho shocks, the FX4 decals, and the 17" machined wheels that are on all other FX4s. What else can I look for?

I think that is pretty much it as far as the FX4 differences. As far as the front skid plate, on my 01, I removed it too, simply to make it easier to do an oil change. While on a lift, it is easier to get the filter from the bottom, but when sitting on the ground, I found it was easier to get to from the front.

I am pretty sure that in addition to the shocks and wheels the FX4 has a full gas tank skid plate, a transfer case skid plate, and the front one that you have already mentioned.
