Bullbar question for the parts guys

From : jmc

Q: well i have to say it some time our next posting is to australia! been there before but not with my dakota or any 4x4 so im quite thrilled! however theres the danger of roos cattle and the odd camel so im thinking about a bullbar. this is why its to the parts guys i need to know whether or not a bullbar for a 2001 dakota slt in its original box is mailable through the apo which means it must weigh less than 70 lbs and not exceed 130 in combined length and girth. i suspect that it isnt. its a common item where im going so im not worried about getting it installed. however as theres not even a chrysler dealer there i doubt i can order one through a local retailer thatll fit. if you think im wrong about this please let me know. ideas on brands are welcome. i am looking for a real bullbar not a light bar. itd be a shame to have one of the most travelled dakotas in existence only to have it totaled by a roo. jmc .
