You will indeed need a "special tool" in order to install the Roadmaster Base Plate # RM-521453-5 on your 2024 Jeep wrangler. The tool they are referring to is a die grinder. This is used to enlarge holes in the frame in order to allow bolts to pass thru. A die grinder would be the preferred tool for this, but it could be done with a drill or file if that is all you have. You should be able to find a decent die grinder at your local hardware store.
I have linked the installation instructions below. If you look at page 4 step 9 you will see mention of the "mystery tool".
