I would be happy to help you find a roof rack for your Sparrow XL roof tent. If your 2001 Subaru Forester has the factory installed raised rails that run front to back you will need the Roof Rack by Rhino Rack. The roof rack includes:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 41" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA106B-2

Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX100

I have linked an installation video below. These crossbars only have a 150 lbs capacity.

You will want to check with your manufacterer to verify what the roof top capacity of your Subaru is.
